A Recap in Pictures

We don't know exactly why, but we've heard that some of you could not get to our travel journal. Unfortunately, blogger was blocked from China so I had to use an alternate site. I posted my thoughts and feelings and several pictures every day to www.youbelong.net/olivetfamily. Below is just a short recap of our time in China (starting with the day we met Ash.) We hope you enjoy!
