Tianjin 3rd day
Good morning friends, we are still in Tianjin, James and Janine had to go to appointments yesterday and get things ready for leaving here on Saturday. Chandler took us to his hotel to eat last night, we had 8 different foods in huge amounts for 9 people, and it was 35.00 American. Or 326. RMB. And I have to say, I tried Donkey meat, it tastes like pastrami. But I do not want to try it again, thank you.
Hannah is getting to know us better, she does not like being seperated from the boys at night. She has really bonded with Sarah and Janine, she let Sarah bath her and take her brace off her leg last night and wash her hair. I am washing clothes and hanging them in the bathroom on built in clothes lines to dry.
We hired Wu ( female Chinese driver) to take us several places today after 1 pm, we will be going to the drum tower.and several historic homes.And to see other sights.
I am attaching several pictures from the city here.
I must tell you that I am getting quite good at eating with chopsticks, having my picture taken is becoming common for me and sometimes I want to pose for them, I am a very small minority here with my red hair and( large figure) I have only seen 2 other people with red hair since I have been here.....we had a little concern in the market, a man on a bicycle kept trying to get Gabriel to get on his bike with him and followed us for many many shops, but all the boys and I and of course James, kept saying no. James in his "Indiana Jones" hat can be quite intimidating and has had his picture taken many times also.We saw a fight in one shop and Chandler kept herding us away from it with hand motions. Lots of yelling on both sides.
We are having a wonderful time, no one has been bothered with stomach problems. The orphanage has told us that Hannah can be very stubborn and we said that she will fit right in....LOL
Love to all
