We started our day Saturday with breakfast and a trip to Tianamen Square. Then we said goodbye to Beijing. We boarded a plane and endured a three and a half hour turbulent flight to Nanning. I say endured because it was the scariest turbulence I have ever flown through. We made it safe and sound to Nanning where we met our new guide, David. We are staying at a hotel that the internet is really slow unless you are on really early in the morning or in the middle of the night. We are unable to load any pictures right now because we need the appropriate adapter. As soon as we get that adapter, we will post.
We will be making our first walmart trip this morning (sunday morning for us...saturday night for you). David told us that we will be meeting Lili-Kate Monday afternoon at 3 pm. So for you guys at home, by lunchtime on Monday we hope to have some pics for you to see of her. We are very anxious and excited. We know that she is with a foster family that will be saying goodbye to her so pray for that family as this is probably going to be very hard for them.
Nanning is a beautiful city. The people speak mostly cantonese and hardly any english at all. So we wished we had learned at least some cantonese. Our guide says he will teach us some basics to communicate with Lili-Kate. Well, I will post more later once we get our pics uploaded. We miss you guys! See you soon!
