Pictures from the trip

We had soooo many great pictures from our China trip but I will just pick out a few to post over the next couple of weeks.

I found for myself that one of the very special parts of the trip were getting out and touring the local area. 

All of these pictures were taken while we were in Hudson's province.

This was a park that we walked around.  It was very special to us because this was the very place that one of the precious baby girls that was adopted in our travel group was found.  This was her abandonment spot. 

I loved all the lanterns that were still up everywhere we went in celebration of the Chinese New Year.

Everywhere we went there would be groups of people exercising and dancing. 

This is what a lot of the homes looked like.  Hudson's province was very overcast the entire time we were there and everything was very dirty.  The pollution was awful. 

These senior citizens were so inspiring.  They were more flexible and energetic than most people my age.

Look Closely....There is a man swimming in this lake.  The temperature outside was probably in the low 40's that day.  I can't even imagine how cold the water was.  Brrrr!!

Seeing all these people definitely added to our experience.
