More postings from the other side of the world

Well its almost the end of the month so better get these up for family and friends.
These are for my nephew Harry and others who need to see the other side of China. Guilin - my favorite place to enjoy the real beauty of China and the people.

More from China Trip!

My brother emailed me and mentioned that he really enjoyed the photos from China because it allowed him to travel along with my family. We returned to China (a very special place) in September after 3 years to once again bring home a little one from China! We are so blessed!

We made it home from China!

We are finally home after 17 days in China. My laptop power plug ended up having a short so we could not blog or enter any photos - bummer. We did return to Guilin, one of our favorite places in China and took the river trip again. Once again it was wonderful, especially because we had an incredible tour guide, Bing, who made us feel at home in China. I will be posting more of the trip in a few days.
