Chongqing arrival


Arrived Chongqing late Saturday night. We were met by Xiulan ("Shoe-Lawn") who is an amazing older Chinese lady who is a spitfire. She's the reason we chose this agency.

We're in a BBIIIGGG city! Luckily we have McDonalds and Pizza Hut across the street. We went to the supermarket this morning to buy water and sprite. We scoped out the pampers. When our group walks around we cause quite a lot of stares.

After 3 years of hearing how cold the hotels are in China, we've landed in a hot box. All of us are breaking out our shorts. I suppose no matter the temperature, since it's late October, they've turned on the heat. We borrowed a fan for the room and we have the window cracked.

We were going to travel to the orphanage to get the babies but we found out last night that the girls are coming here. I thought I might be disappointed, but I'm actually glad. We're tired from traveling from Beijing and all our "baby gear" is here in the room. No need to figure out what we should pack for the bus ride. Less than 4 hrs to get the babies....gotta go get cameras ready!!!!
