Day 8 in China

Today was a much slower day for us than usual. The only scheduled activity was going back to the medical clinic to have the girls' TB tests checked. All 4 girls in our group were fine! It can be up to 50 percent that come back positive which then require chest x-rays.

Since we didn't have much else going on, we spent some time at the pool this morning and again this evening. It's always fun at the pool. We also were able to do a little shopping and visit more with some shopkeepers we have gotten to know.

Abby also did some homework today. She has a book from school to learn the Chinese characters. So she spent quite a while working on tracing the characters.

Abby sweet talked her dad into buying her a little car with tracks.

Tonight we went to dinner with the 2 other couples from our agency that have been here at Guangzhou with us the whole time. We were thankful that Abby did not pick pigeon from the menu tonight and thought we were safe with getting 1/2 a chicken. I guess we got the 1/2 with the head and the bones ;o)

The rest of the 18 families from our agency fly here tonight or tomorrow from their provinces; it will be fun to all get back together and see all the children!
