Our guide, Evelyn, took us to a rural area in Jiangxi about a 40 minute drive from the city where we are. She was willing to have the driver take us all the way to Tong gu, where our girls are from, but the Duffy's and us both decided against it. It is about 3 1/2 hours away and we just didn't want to put the girls through a 7 hour round trip ride in one day. So, we opted instead for this countryside tour of what she said was probably very similar to where our girls were from. It was quite heartbreaking. The locals were so sweet and friendly but the living conditions were less than desirable.
We had a really great day with Gracie and her spunkiness and fiesty side are becoming quite evident! She loves to get into things and has really been exploring our hotel room. As we were trying to pack up and get ready to head to Guangzhou tomorrow she was "helping". Which of corse meant she was pulling things out of the suitcases! She was so sweet though because several times she would go find something and hand it to Scott to pack. She did not enjoy her first bath several days ago but now loves them! She was splashing like crazy tonight and eating the bubbles!
We are sad to say goodbye to Evelyn but really looking forward to heading to Guangzhou tomorrow!!!
