Shopping at Tiffany's

Let me tell you what a dose of antibiotics will do to Linda. She changes into a whole new person. Boy that infection must have bugged her. She was the star of the group dinner. She was so energetic, alert and full of smiles and conversation (of course we have no idea what she is saying).

The dinner was very nice. I can’t remember half the things we ate. Jiangxi is known for their spicy foods. The first appetizer they put on the table was a real kicker. It gets right in your throat and burns. I think it was tofu.

Today we took a little walk with our friends Nancy, Paul and little Drew. We went over to Tiffany’s. It’s a very popular place to people that come to Jiangxi to pick up their daughters. It’s very close to the hotel and they have all the touristy things we want like squeaky shoes and dresses. They will also do your baby laundry for free. The really neat thing about this store is that they will look for your daughter’s finding ad and make it in a nice presentation to take home. A finding ad is the add the Chinese government puts in the province newspaper when they find a child to see if the birth family will claim them. So basically it’s the youngest picture you’re going to have of your child. The people there are real friendly. The older lady wanted to take Bill to breakfast. Bill could of had a hot date, but decided to stay with us ladies.

We wandered around a little after that. No special place, just something to get out. The sidewalks and streets are very hard to get around here. The sideways are limited and you don’t want to be in a street for too long. It’s like a game of chicken.

Linda is taking her afternoon nap. She is just amazing! She no longer screams when we come back in the room. She sits up and plays with her toys and is doing push ups. She kinda does this shuffle thing backwards on the bed. And, she is starting to get the gist of using a sippy cup.

Well that’s it for today. Tomorrow we should be going to a local village.
