We celebrated Alexis's 13th birthday today in China. Our guide Jason arranged a cake and we surprised her this afternoon. We had purchased a Black Hill's gold necklace for her before we left the US. It was fun to surprise her with something that she wanted. We also told her she could select something in China for her birthday. She looked all day and chose beautiful Kalabash wood flute. She is practicing and hoping to be as good as the shopkeeper one day!
We went on a tour to the 6 Banyan trees temple, the Old Chen house, and the Provincial crafts center. We enjoyed the Old Chen house the most, they have the most beautiful embroidery I have ever seen. You would swear that they were photographs or paintings. They were absolutely stunning. The landscaping and wood work was also phenomenal.
Maddie is not feeling wonderful today, she had a runny nose and was a little warm. We are not sure if it is teeth or a cold. I am guessing cold as several of the other babies have something right now. It is hard with this many people to keep them healthy. She took 4 naps today and is now fast asleep. I am praying it is nothing and she will be better in the morning.
We went to the Cow & Bridge today for dinner. It was our first time trying Thai. Our food was wonderful, not that we know what good Thai should taste like. Maddie liked the noodles of course!
Tomorrow is her medical exam and we prepare the visa paperwork. Hopefully all goes well.
