Update:)

We were just able to talk to dad. They had gotten word from Christian and Steven. They had let them go, and put them on a train to LanZhou, thats were they are right now, but the police may still be following them around trying to find out where the other teams are. But their visas were canceled:( The police found Christian's paper with their route and they got a hold of his phone with all the other team members phone numbers! All the other teams are doing well, tired but well:) Here's a few pics dad posted of towns they had "crumbed".

Buddhist monastery in Hezhou. I've been here before.
