Today was our last day in China! We've had a wonderful trip but it seems like we've been here forever! We are definitely missing home! The weather here on our last day was the best we've had the whole 2 weeks! Rain finally gone, sunny & probably in the 70's. We had our last breakfast buffet in the hotel. Although the food has been awesome, we are ready to get back to our "normal". We did some packing and cleaning up, then spent some time in the outdoor play area at the hotel, where there were several other adoptive families that we have talked with throughout the week. We have met some really great families! Since it was such a nice day out we decided to explore a little for lunch. Liz - we got dumplings at your "green" restaurant and they were delicious!
We also decided to check out a pizza place we had heard other families talk about. This was probably Audrey's first pizza...
It was so nice out we were able to eat outside. We got a kick out of their delivery vehicles...
It is amazing how many people live in this city! There are apartment buildings everywhere, and everyone has their laundry hanging out to dry...
We also got to hang out this evening with another family here that we've met. It's been fun sharing our stories and experiences and getting to know some of these families.
Tomorrow we get picked up by Richard at 5:45 am, then off to the airport! Our first flight goes to Beijing, then to San Francisco where we have our first "homecoming" with my sister & her family! We are so excited to be there! Please pray for smooth and on-time flights and a sleepy and well-behaved little 2-yr old!
Yay! You found the green restaurant!! It was one of our favorites and I'm glad you enjoyed the dumplings. Safe travels home. We'll be praying for smooth flights and a happy girl :) Can't wait to have you home and meet her!
