This morning we went to the park where Madi was found. Above is the park gate and us with our driver and the van we have traveled around the area in.
We met an older gentlemen from the village near the park and he told us all about the park, it's recent renovations and where to find the gates. We asked if he would take his picture with us. Elvin translated that he was very honored to have his picture made with "foreigners", in his long life this was the first time. He asked if Elvin could please bring him a copy. That if he came to Beishan, everyone in the village knew him and would know where to find him. So we will send the picture back and Elvin is so great he is going to find this man again to deliver the picture....The park was surrounded by factories now and Elvin said even 2 years ago it was probably mostly farmland.

Dylan is being such a trooper. Honestly, for a 10 year old when we aren't out on tours this vacation is not that interesting. We are mainly in the hotel learning to know Madi. Dylan is watching old Michael Jordan NBA games and sports follies. Exactly what he would be doing if we were home. Don't get me wrong, he is having an awesome trip, but it is long for all of us !

It looks like Dylan is enjoying his new "Big Brother" role. Can't wait til you all get home.
I can't imagine how much you all are ready to come home. We are just as ready for you all to get here too. Your guide looks very nice in the picture. He also looks young. Continue to have a good time and have a grill cheese for me. Dylan you will have this big brother thing down pat by the time you get here.
I am so glad that all is well with you guys.
You are so blessed to have such a great young man as Dylan as your son. God is good, that is all I can say.
Can't wait to see you all.
