Day 12 - 2 More Sleeps Everyone!!!!!!!

In case you didn`t know we are so excited that in 2 more sleeps we will be on our way home....yaaaaay!!!!

Today was a full day for Tracy and Madi, I stayed back at the hotel to rest and recoup from what we think is pnemonia - not fun stuff to begin with, try having it in a foreign country 8000 KM`s away from home.....well with some prayers said last night I`m 150% better today even though I felt better I opted to rest today. Another miracle for us in this `big adventure` of ours is what we`re calling this one. I gotta tell ya I was figured I was going to be seeing the inside of a hospital last night. Anyway botom line is I`m now getting better........

So while I rested at the hotel today Tracy and Madi visited the Silk Factory and the Pearl Market with the rest of the group. Tracy really enjoyed the day and found the Silk Factory to be very interesting. She did mention that she could have very easily maxed out the credit card at buying up all the beautiful silks. It`s pretty amazing what worms can make! The Pearl market was alot of fun as well as her money did not last very long!!!! Gerald(Tracy`s Dad) would have been very proud of all the bargains she got today!

Tomorrow we will visit Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City and then another large market called the Silk Market. I`m not sure why they call it that as you can buy just about anything there, anyhow it should be quite a jam packed day and with me feeling so much better I will be out and about tomorrow! Tracy is sorry that she did get any pictures but having Madi she had her arms full. So instead we are going to show you some other photos that we have taken along the way......

This is it a chinese 'squatty'

This is Me and Tracy along with Yulin the Director of FOI(our adoptin agency) and Emily our new friend from BC who came here to China to get a new sister. Emily herself was adopted 3 years ago here in China

.......and goodness we cannot forget a pic of our little Madi....now doesn't she look comfy!! Tracy took this one tonight

Anyway off to bed as we have a big day ahead of us, we'll see you all very soon!

Chris, Tracy, and Madi
