Orphanage Tour

Good Friday to you! ( a day late)

We're more than a little "out of touch" over here. It wasn't until after lunch that we realized it was Good Friday, which explains the usual helping of bacon at breakfast this morning and whatever may have been in that rice dish at lunch.

We were fortunate to be afforded the opportunity to visit Joey's orphanage as this does not always happen. We were able to tour, take pictures, ask questions and even speak with Joey's primary nanny. A hug was delivered in appreciation for her good care. The details and pictures will be preserved for Joey.

On our way back to the hotel, the bus stopped at the government square in Dongguan City. We are told that it rivals Tienanmen Square in Beijing. This was an enormous park with green space, benches, art sculptures and beautiful fountains and reflecting pools. It was nice to let Joey run around a bit since he had been on the bus for several hours and then in the hip hammock for quite a while too.

Tomorrow should be a fun day...we're going to the zoo (they have a panda)!
