Day 11 - More Sightseeing

Today was another typical day. Breakfast, followed by a visit to the Hunan Embroidary Factory. We got a couple of souvieners. Some of the artwork was very impressive (and expensive). In the afternoon, we did a little swimming (Kevin, Aaron, and me). We were the only ones in the pool so we set up an obstacle course race. The pool is huge. After that we watched a couple of movies during a Katelin nap. In the evening, we headed over the JoNos for dinner. The ranks are not happy with JoNos and we may not be going there again. We were supposed to be traveling to Guangzhou tomorrow but due to some minor delays in paperwork, we won't be traveling until the day after tomorrow. We'll be arriving at the same time as Tropical Storm Fengshen arrives in Guangzhou, ...great! The weather looks like rain and thunderstorms everyday while were in Guangzhou and lets not forget the 95 degrees F temperatures (with Humidity it feels like 103 degrees F according to the internet). Sounds like a paradise.

Katelin continues to do well. She spent some time in the playroom yesterday and met some new kids. Some new families came in yesterday and there were 2 familes that had older children that were returning to visit the orphanages that they had come from. Yesterday, Katelin tried the kiddie pool, she wasn't too interested but went along with it anyway. We keep experimenting with different foods; she's liking bananas, watermellon and congee the most. She is very friendly to everyone but she's going to have to get into the baby gym; she doesn't have much strength. She needs help to sit up. But I think that I see her getting stronger each day.
