An Exhausting Day!






I can barely hold my eyes open as I'm doing this so it will be short.
We went to the Forbidden City and Tiannamen Square--interesting
A jade factory- pretty but expensive
A Cloisonne factory-- very amazing-didn't buy anything
The Great Wall--unbelievable but freezing cold

Dinner-Harrison had an allergic reaction-benadryl in the room--but OK now

We leave for Jiangxi at 8:00 am arrive at 2:00 should have Lillie Mei by 5:00.

You guys are 13 hours behind us now that the time changed.

Can't WAIT to see Lillie Mei tomorrow!!!!!

I was told Jade was inexpensive but when we got to the jade market in Gaungzhou I didn't think the prices were all that cheap. There are a few little shops in Guangzhou that sells some Jade that is a little less pricey, probably not as pretty though.

So glad to finally see Lillie Mei in your arms!! So many prayers have been answered it is just a little overwhelming.

She is precious and already looks right at home with her new family. I am sure she will adjust quickly and be sleeping at night. The next couple of days don't look quite as busy, hopefully all of you can get some rest.

I will
