After our consulate appointment this morning (everything is fine :) )we got to visit the zoo with the two families left with us. We had a wonderful afternoon! The weather was great and the company was just as nice :) The kids always love a zoo and the grounds were beautiful. PETA would have had a heyday though. It was hard seeing some of the animal displays and we got much closer than we ever would have gotten at home. The panda display was sad that way. When I think about the great habitat that the pandas have at our zoo and compare it to the cage that the panda was in today - it was sad. We got to hail 3 cabs again - always an adventure. We are learning to be much more assertive though!
Please pray for one of the families in our small group. Their consulate appointment did not go as planned and our guide is at the airport tonight waiting for a new adoption decree with the proper name on it. We are praying that they will be approved tomorrow and still get to go home with us on Friday.
Tomorrow is shopping!!! on Shaiman island one more time. I plan to fully take advantage! We have our swearing in ceremony in the afternoon and then pack, pack, pack. We leave here Friday midday for Beijing and leave Beijing 7pm. We are trying to soak in our last couple of days but are getting anxious to be home. I can't wait to brush our teeth with running water and drink all the ice tea I can without paying Starbucks prices!!
