One more flight down, 24 hours to go to Gotcha Day! We arrived safe and sound in Changsha today, and "nested" in our hotel, The Dolton. This place is pretty amazing - it's a combination of The Dearborn Inn and The Broadmoor - it's huge - there is bowling alley in the hotel for crying out loud! The scenery around here reminds us a little of Nanning, but on a much, much larger scale. We just walked to the grocery store - (the name of it was the Whacko Market) to get supplies and we caught quite few stares from the people on the street, especially David. A little girl walked by and pointed at him and said "oh my God" - or the equivlant in Chinese. Probably because he looked like a giant melting snowman dressed in red.
Again, much to my disappointment, we will not get our baby until 4pm tomorrow - so Mom & Dad, check your phone around 6 am your time!!!
We are excited, nervous, and anxious, but just happy to finally be here. We think Hope is the oldest of the group, and since no one around here speaks any English, we are banking on her to translate.
Good bye until Gotcha Day!!!!!
Julie & David
