lions and tigers and bears...

It's kind of entertaining to fire up the laptop in the AM. The VPN is set to search the 10 closest servers - which are in 10 different countries - and blogger lables come up in a default language depending where it thinks you are - so who knows what language one will be reading in in the AM? It's the little things one finds funny.

Thursday morning Carolyn and I went out shopping - the girls took MeiLi to the pool. In the afternoon we (the entire group) went to a small zoo in Changchun - not far away. I think any event should be judged based on how well my hair does - and based on the photos, I shouldn't really be liking this place - but actually it was pretty nice - not crowded at all. And you know, any opportunity to interact with your new daughter is a good one.

After the zoo we came back to the hotel - and gradually the walking caught up with us - so naps mostly around. Went to a Hong Kong place for dinner (don't know what made the food Hong Hong-eze, but it was good) - MeiLi said she wasn't hungry but she snarfed fried noodles.

This AM the Holt staff is picking up our passports, we depart in the late afternoon for Guangzhou - a 4 hour flight - so we will probably be getting in late. Pray for grace.









MeiLi is trying to get the deer to blow bubbles?



Lions

And tigers

And bears...

Oh my!

We will pray for your flight! 4 hours is long. Hopefully she will sleep.
Go to the zoo in Guangzhou if you can even though you went to the other. It is AMAZING! Nina-Li and the rest of us loooove looking at the pictures. It's kind of interesting being on this side of the pc.

It looks like things are going great for you.

She is enjoying all the new adventures. It's a good way to get acquainted with you.

I really liked the picture of her sleeping with her arm around you.
Is that you, Carolyn?

Have a safe trip tomorrow. You are on the last "leg" of your journey.

Love, Aunt Jo
