Last Day!

Well, it's hard to believe, but our journey here is almost at its end. Today is our last day here in China. We spent our last day cruzing through an antique market and, to prepare ourselves for America, had lunch at McDonalds. Now we are packing our suitcases and preparing to leave. We start our 30 hour trip home at 5:45am China time and get home around 11pm Maine time. I'm still trying to figure out how it takes 30 hours for only 17 hours to tick by on the clock!
We have had a great trip but are very ready to be home. We miss our girls terribly and are looking forward to a small degree of normalcy. I admit that I will likely have some pretty severe french toast withdrawls for a while, but I won't have to worry about any fish soup inflictions! Here are some of our latest pictures. We'll keep updating once we get home, but I would expect there to be bit of a delay.


Nina's first McDonalds experience - and hopefully her last!


Nina and one of her friends from her orphanage.


Nina's not a big fan of baths yet, but she sure looks cute in a towel!


If you look closely, you'll see that there is a famly of 4 on this motorcycle. We are thinking of trading our van in for a couple of these bikes. (This photo was taken by our friend of ours on our trip to the orphanage.)


A man hanging 12 storeys up by a single rope cleaning our hotel window.


And, the grand finale - my morning french toast!
