Our Trip to the Countryside

We went to Faith's favorite lunch diner before we headed outside the city today. We only ventured out about 20 minutes outside the city, but that is exactly what I wanted to do. I just wanted to see where most people live their everyday normal lives here in China. It was very interesting and we took alot of pictures.



One of the strangest things to see was that they all share a fabulous well maintained community bathroom in these little alleys. If you have been to China, then you know that I am kidding about the condition of these lovely squatty pottys. My naiveness never imagined that everyone didn't have their own bathroom in all their little apartment houses. Anyhow it was interesting and eye opening to the way that most live here everyday.

We are off to Guangzhou tomorrow afternoon, so this is our last sleep in Elise's hometown. There is a bittersweet feeling surrounding the thoughts of leaving tomorrow. We are taking her away from the place she was born, yet we are growing closer to the place she will thrive-HOME!

my dr recommended a mixture of the liquid mylanta with some topical benedryl for the bum. Sorry it is not showing any improvement.
