A journey to the countryside

We went on a great adventure today. We drove about an hour and a half outside of Nanchang to a village in the countryside. It was beautiful and SO nice to get out of the busy, busy city for the day. The weather was warm and sunny today...probably mid to high 70s. The fresh air did us all well. We wandered through the village and there were some structures we were able to walk through. This rural area had rice paddys all around and was similar to the area Katelyn is from. China really is a beautiful country and if you can get away from the huge crowds and smog you actually get to see how amazing it is. It's such a rich culture and the people in this village were very friendly to us and wanted to ohh and aah at the babies. This was the main little road/walkway through the village. We got video footage of a man walking his ox down this path....coming from or going to the rice paddys.
This tree was REALLY old...it was huge and so beautiful. Katelyn loves being outside.
