AK playing in Inara's blow up tub.
Eight hours sleep and bellies full of dim sum, we are feeling much better, today.
(Forgive the formatting of this blog post. We are experiencing incredible lag in our connection today and every action, even typing was arduous. Hopefully, it will be better tomorrow!)
We started our day at the hotel's breakfast buffet which was divided into western and Chinese food. Most of Chinese patrons were enjoying the novel waffles and pancakes while we stuffed ourselves on fish, dim sum, steamed pork and miso soup. If you have to be a traveling Celiac (like Eric) China is the place to go.
We met with our travel rep at 10 and wondered inot the Confusian Temple shopping area. AK bought sugar glazed strawberries on a scewer and we wondered aimlessly through the small shops.
Nanjing is such a different experience from our previous travels to China. We do not see any other westerns as we walk around and folks have been a wee bit concerned seeing us with AK - when they learned that she is our adopted daughter (instead of a child we are obsconding with) they are very kind and friendly.
We have been lounging in our room this afternoon as we are still recovering from our travels and we are trying to prepare for Inara tomorrow. AK worked hard on Inara's memory journal, drawing pictures of Inara and koi fish she saw in the lobby. It was fun working with AK on packing Inara's diaper bag for tomorrow - I remember fondly packing up hers for the first time.
Enjoy the pictures and we look forward to being able to post the first pictures of Inara tomorrow. We get her shortly after 2:00 PM China time, tomorrow - just after midnight Rocky Mountain time, I believe. We cannot believe "Gotcha Day" is finally upon us!
