Our Last Day in China






















Last Friday it felt like we still had a long way to go before we could leave China and now it's hard to believe we will be leaving tomorrow. It will be good to get home and get into a regular routine again, even though I don't look forward to cooking. For some reason, I haven't missed that at all.
We went to the Six Banyan Trees Temple. It was more like a museum, so there were lots of artifacts to look at. I enjoyed that, but as you can see in the last picture, John and Madison were ready for a rest. John was showing Madison how to use the camera.
While we were at the Temple, we met a group of Americans who were oddly enough from the University of Nebraska on an agricultural trip. The lady I was talking to gave Madison a University of Nebraska pencil and pen. John told them, however, that would not make us Husker fans. It truly is a small world, and it was nice seeing midwesterners.
We are going to lunch with our guide in five minutes, then later, we will go to the U.S. Consulate to get Madison's visa...the last hoop to jump through. Tonight, we're ordering Papa John's pizza. Mmmm, I can't wait!

P.S. Please forgive my format, for some reason my spacing is not showing up when I post.
