Nanchang doesn't have much to offer in the way of tourist sights. Nanchang was built in the 6th century AD and has been destroyed and rebuilt 28 times. Nanchang is where the first shot of the civil war was and lead to the Communist revolution. We visited the Tengwang Pavilion. Not the entire group went today. After touring around we all went out for lunch. Once again to our surprise the food was awesome. The CCAI reps know exactly what to order for us. While visiting the pavilion we bought Emma and Jessica a cute tea set. After the tour Emma and Phil took a small nap while I went downstairs and had a calligrapher make a scroll for us. About 5pm tonight we went to have the disposable camera developed. This is the camera that was sent in Emma's care package with instructions for the foster family to use. Sure enough every single picture was taken. Emma and her foster mom are in all of them. I'm going to guess that the orphanage (which is where the camera and care package were sent) gave her foster mom strick instructions to stay on the grounds of the orphanage. Her foster mom did a great job of taking pictures here and there. The pictures are bitersweet. You can see how much love Emma and her foster mom shared. To clarify, if I made things confusing, Emma was in foster care from the day she was 2 days old till the day we got her. The reason why we spoke with the orphanage director is because he sets up the foster families, not because she was in the orphanage. We will meet again with the orphanage director tomorrow. We (along with 5 other families) are going to Fu Zhou. This is the town that Emma has been living in for the past 9 months with her foster family. Most likely this is where her biological parents are from. We will get the chance to see the spot where Emma's biological parents left her to be found.
