Guilin

We are posting from the White Swan in Guangzhou! We've made it past the halfway mark and are now on the home stretch!

Our time in Guilin was very nice. We both wish we could have spent another day or so there. Our guide was Annie. She was fantastic! Brice got along great with our driver and now has some cool tricks to show his classmates went he gets home.

Brinley has become very attached to Sharon and is acting more like a two year old every day. She smiles and laughs and plays more and more with Brice. She has picked up some English - hello, oh my, and some other words. She is such a sweet little girl!

She's learning more about us and we are learning about her. She doesn't like some foods so we are trying different things. So far the top items are fruits, vegetables, and a yogurt drink.

Last night we went to Lucy's Bar and Cafe. The food was great - fish and chips and cheeseburgers! Brinley had cucumbers and mixed vegetables! Maybe we should all start eating like her!

I'll let Sharon post about the trip to the orpahanage in Guilin. We could tell that the workers really did care a great deal for the children. We passed out candy and went to several of the rooms.

As I said before, Sharon is the writer. I'm more of a bag carrier! I would like to thank everyone for keeping us in your prayers as we make this trip. It has been a great experience and one that will have an impact on us for the rest of our lives. Please continue to pray for us as we head for home at the end of the week.
