Day 9- Last day in Nanning

This is how the day started out. Channing had a really, really hard day today. It was like she sensed that we were leaving. It was heart breaking to watch her......and then she had to say good-bye to David our guide who she LOVED!!!!

PIctures from the farm we visited outside of Nanning. It was a real eye opener!!! Very beautiful countryside.





Laundry day!!!






Waiting for Channing's passport to be ready......on the way to the airport!!!

Such a hard day, poor Channing! Poor Mommy, too! It WILL get better, thought - the grieving is a good sign as you know.

What neat photos of the Nanning countryside. They will be wonderful for Channing to have. I love your idea of trying to stay in touch with some of her friends when they are adopted. I hope tomorrow (today) will be easier for Channing (and you). Thanks for sharing! Wish I could go tomorrow ):

Your little one is a real trooper. She's going to get through these tough days and so are you. Happy Yulin is here and was able to communicate with her and help her 'talk things out.' Praying for you.
