Praise God, you can finally walk outside without melting. Last night was blessedly cooler and with a breeze. Our guide took us to the Qingping market, the largest herbal market in China.
Kelley said that pharmacists from all over China come to this market for their herbs to make their medicines. We saw dried seahorses, starfish, deer legs and more. There were alot of animals and even tubs full of live scorpions. Chris was thrilled with the market.
Then we walked into the down town area, like a Chinese Times Square. We ate at a Dim Sum restaurant. Aubrey ate a huge bowl of noodle soup. She looked like a tick ready to pop. When we got back to our room, she ate her first chocolate. She loved it! As you can see in the picture.
I think, and hope we have crossed the bridge, turned the corner with her. Today she has been pleasant and her eyes look bright. She was happy to see us all this morning. We decided to skip the tours today since we already went to pearl and jade markets in Beijing.
Tomorrow we get her visa at the consulate, Tuesday we pack! I'm so happy we are almost done here. Thanks for the kind comments, it's wonderful to have the support from home! Love you all. Kelley(sister) Happy Birthday! I have a wonderful present for you, another playmate for Emma.

I am so happy things are looking brighter ... and getting cooler!!! You're at the end of this long journey now ... just a little further to go.
I'm so happy you'll soon be back in the U.S. with your daughter.

You are almost home! Hang in there! You continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. Aubrey is so blessed to have such a wonderful family to come home to. As parents we always under-estimate our patience, just take is a moment at a time...I walked past your home today and smiled thinking about your homecoming. With much love, Meg
