Just a short blog post today. We are in Guangzhou after the short 1 hour flight last night. This morning it's breakfast and then off to Chloe's U.S. visa medical check-up. Todd Brandenburg and Kevin visited the local orphanage in Nanning where the Brandenburg's daughter came from. No pictures are allowed inside of buildings but Kevin snapped a few on the outside. The Nanning orphanage is one of the larger ones in China with about 500 children and 500 elderly who have no family to care for themselves. I'll spare any political commentary here but I can tell some stories when we get home. The last photo is of our wonderful guide, Jane, who has worked for Holt for 12 years. She has earned the nickname "Crying Jane" from the Holt China staff because she cries every time a family leaves Nanning for Guangzhou because she is so passionate about her work. She did a fantastic job for us while we were in Nanning and we are forever grateful.
