Nanjing University
With our week of vacation we went to the city of Nanjing. We wanted to see Nanjing University, especially the law library of Nanjing University, especially a plaque on the wall inside the law library of Nanjing University. TP's grandpa is a retired attorney, 95 years old, and he started his law business a long time ago in the small city of Blackfoot, Idaho. Recently he donated all his law books to BYU, who works closely with Nanjing University and sends students over for a flagship program. BYU sent those books over to the Law Library of Nanjing University, where they sit today, along with a plaque to recognize and thank TP's grandpa. Unfortunately, because of the holiday, the buildings were all closed and we weren't able to see this plaque, and we weren't even supposed to be able to go into any buildings at all, but the security guard had compassion on us when he heard our story and he allowed us to go to the 10th floor and take a peek inside.

Thanks for posting the pictures of China and telling us about the library and New Years!We can't wait to come and see Shanghai and Nanjing. I tried to bring Grandpa and Grandma up to date on your activities at my birthday lunch.
That is so awesome that you guys got to go there! It would have been great to get a photo of the plaque for those of us who probably won't be able to see it in person. Maybe next time!
