I do want to bounce out of bed though. The thought of only one more day until I see my sweetheart baby girl. And the thought of being able to try more cultural foods. Hey, I love Josie and I love food, that's not a news flash, people.
This mornings new food was porridge, Chinese pancake, and a pickled duck egg.
It's supposed to be cooler today in the high 60's.
We meet in the lobby at 9 to head to the Great Wall of China. It was calling for rain.. But it just misted and was cool and thank God.
Wow oh wow. I could hardly believe that I was standing on it. Older than dirt and you can't even imagine how it was built. It was gorgeous but a total work out. My legs were like jello in a earthquake.
Loved seeing and hearing a melting pot of nationalities and languages.
I'm again so thankful for our group! We are having little panic attacks and meltdowns at different times and are able to hold each other up.
We walked along The Bird's Nest (the Olympics 2008) and checked out the sweet design.
We took a rest at Dr Tea and tasted 5 different teas. After high pressure sales, we still declined. But I will admit, two of them were amazing. Best tea ever. A one of them, did taste like sticks :)
One of our families have two adopted kids ages 2-4 which are along to go adopt another 2yr old. We grilled them with questions, just hoping for answers. Anything to calm our hearts.
The thing is that here in China, they only give us about a hour of information at a time. They can't give any info about gotcha day because after we fly to her provience, we will have a different guide. Instead of one day at a time, it's one hour at a hour, sweet Jesus.
Tomorrow is the day. I hope I will give you a update but my mind and heart will be directed toward Josie.
Please pray for all three of us. All of it will be overwhelming.
