This morning there was a tour to a Buddist temple and gardens which we opted out of. It was nice to sleep in until closer to 8am. We all slept well last night. The beds were comfy and the a/c is much more efficient here :-)
After leaning over the bath for an hour trying to wash clothes, we decided to send some of the heavier items out to a laundry service. It is almost impossible to get the clothes dried. We should have a bag of clean clothes returned tomorrow.
The breakfast buffet offers a nice variety. Jack will eat almost anything and insists on feeding himself. He is fiercely independent, which is great at times, other times he can become a little emperor :-) We love him so much!
After breakfast the Williams family and us decided to get orientated to our surroundings. We didn't make it too far but did find a store that sells glasses. Jack broke my glasses yesterday so the guide will go back with me to the store tomorrow and help me get new ones. I don't know if I'll have to have my eyes tested, or if they can decipher my english prescription. It should be interesting!
We all went out as a group to a Portuguese restaurant tonight for dinner. It was very good and just a few minutes from our hotel. Another family joined our group today. They have adopted an adorable 5 year old boy who has spina bifida.
Tomorrow morning we take all the children for the mandatory medical exam. The afternoon is free and then we will go on a riverboat dinner cruise in the evening.
Many of you have asked how Jack is feeling. He is so much better. Still congested, but no wheeze. We are continuing to use the inhaler 4 times a day. This boy does not slow down, even when he is sick. It is hard to imagine that at one time he was so sick with a congenital heart defect.
Megan. Just 7 more days and we will be home. Miss you lots. I wear your picture on my lanyard every day and everyone that sees it thinks you are beautiful with your blond hair, blue eyes and missing teeth :-)
Thanks to everyone who has prayed for us while we are in China. We have been very aware of those prayers. Thanks to those who left encouraging comments. For some reason I can't get in to the comment section to respond.
