Xunyi County, China

Xunyi County, Shaanxi Province, China, is the apple growing capital of China. China now leads the world in apple production. The weekend of October 28 and 29, Janet and I, with several other foreign teachers, were guests of the County government there, and were treated like long-lost friends by children, young people and adults, wherever we went. It was a great experience.
