Let me say right off the start, our trip to The Peoples Republic of China left me with a positive impression of the Country. They are truly a remarkable people, with a work ethic I have not seen elsewhere in my travels. Things are different in China and seemed rather odd at first glance. Once I got to know them better I began to understand the Chinese ways much better. I developed tremendous respect for the Chinese, and believe The P.R. of China will become more and more a world power as time passes. Their National pride was evident, as well as my belief we were shown only the best of the best. We visited three main cities (Beijing, Nanning and Guangzhou) and a smaller farming community to the north of Nanning. We were guided by excellent local tour guides, and a wonderful woman named "Tracy" who was with us the whole time. I will never forget them, for they made our trip an experience of a lifetime.Some of the pictures from our trip to China

To the people of The Peoples Republic of China (P.R. China) I extend heartfelt thanks and gratitude. To the men and women who took such great care of Lili in the orphanage, we can sure tell you gave her love as well as excellent care. She has adjusted well to our family, and the boys and her are already doing wonderfully well. She already prefers trucks over dolls! It takes time to develop a web page, and I am very busy getting caught up. This page will change greatly over the next few weeks, so check back with us again.
