WOW

It's 6:10 in the morning here. We have survived our first night without incident and are heading to eat breakfast soon and then off to sight see.


We ventured out yesterday to the Chinese version of Walmart and it was an adventure. I have never felt so out of place. I should never complain about having to wait in lines at Walmart or Kroger again. We bought water and a few drinks for the boys. It's hard to imagine not being able to brush your teeth without using bottled water. So far I have remembered and I hope the boys do as well.

The food in the store was interesting to say the least. They were cutting all types of meats right in the center of store. Huge sides of pork just right in the open. Very neat. But I have to say, I have never felt so out of place. It's interesting to be the foreigner.


Ashton slept in my room last night and Bo with Brady. I think the boys slept great, but Bo and I not so well. I was up every hour.


We ate at the hotel last night night and the food was good, just very small portions.


Late Entry: We just returned from the breakfast buffet in the hotel and it was great. We have finally eaten our fill and think we will survive.

It's hard to put in to words just what we have experienced so far, but suffice it to say, I really love home and we have just started.

All of the families that we have met seem so nice and it is wonderful to finally meet the folks that you have been seeing on the blogs. Everyone is so excited to finally be here.

We are off to see the sights. I will post again later.
