Yesterday we visited the Yellow Crane Tower. It was also the first day it rained while in China. After lunch we went shopping at Walmart and a large mall. We saw some new flavors of Pringles that we took a picture of for everyone: Seaweed and Crab. We can’t find those back home.
The orphanage director drove over from Huanggang last night during our dinner (a 2 hour drive) to give us a copy of the local paper we were in and two DVDs. One was a bunch of footage from the orphanage and the other was a news clip that was aired on CCTV. Last night we were also on CCTV news, there was at least a 5 minute segment that featured our group on our tour. Peiton and I are in it several times, and to think this broadcasted over all of China as well as cable around the world. The treatment of our families has been just remarkable. It was a real big event to for China to have their girls come back and visit, they really made a great impression.
Today the group splits up. Most are going directly home after going back through Beijing, some are going to Hong Kong and another to Shanghai. We will be heading to Chengdu to see the pandas.
