The internet connection in our hotel room is, well, highly unreliable. I start posting and then it is simply just, well, gone! I can't explain it. Al's mom has just about given up on electronics. today we visited another Silk factory. We were there for almost 2.5 hours and Alan was losing his patience. enough factory tours!! After lunch we went to the Pearl Market and I got Halle a pearly necklace from Nana. It was so beautiful, I got one for myselft too...amongst other items. I also got Halle some shoes...leather shoes for $4 a pair. We had our farewell dinner a night earlier than we were suppose to. Yulin had organized some special entertainment for the children...a magician named Mr Lee. Tonight Mr Lee is in Shanghai at a magical competition (nope, not making it up). Anyways, we had Peking duck for dinner and cake for dessert. All the children (babies and older siblings) were given a caligraphy scroll with their name on it from FOI. The caligraphy was done by an instructor from one of the Art universities. I think there are only five in China. Anyways, there were a few tears of course. It is sad to think we are taking our girls away from their homeland...bittersweet is probably a truer feeling. Tomorrow we will go to Tianamen Square and the Forbidden City and then shopping. I am getting pretty good at batering. I made someone cry this morning and tomorrow I will hone my skills at the big market.
