Before arriving I was able to sync up with an internet friend who was going to be here getting her daughter. K's blog is here. It was great to meet her in person and to have someone else here to experience this journey with. She just received her 7 year old yesterday. So we asked them to go to dinner last night to adventure back over to the Chinese restaurant next door. It was fun to have an actual English conversation over dinner and share some of our thoughts and feelings about adoption. This is her first child, she is single and a mighty brave woman to venture out into the adoption world alone. Her new daughter is adorable, seems very happy, and let me tell you...she LOVES to eat! So much fun watching her enjoy her first meal with her mommy :)
We did good yesterday by making the girls take a nap during the day. It is now almost 6am and everyone is still asleep*well except me*-YEAH! Great night of rest all around and I am thankful for that. We meet our guide at 10am to head out to the People's Park. Should be fun. The weather is perfect here in the 60s everyday so far. My guide thinks I am crazy wearing short sleeve shirts. Looking forward to a fabulous day!!
