Goodbye Shanghai and Hello Nanning

Today we leave beautiful Shanghai and fly to Nanning where we will receive our girls in two days...we're all pretty excited but I must say...I'm pretty emotional. We went on a tour yesterday and I started to cry at the Jade Buddhist Temple...I just felt so much peace there and such a connection to China...I'm not a religious person but I have always felt connected to Buddism for some reason...weird I know.

Our tour yesterday was great...we went to the ancient town of Zhoujiao and it was incredible. Lots of great pics that I'll post here. Then we went to the Jade Buddhist Temple and the Yuan Gardens. It was very busy because it is Moon Festival time here and many people are on holiday. We then went to the Bund famous for it's European architecture and great pictures of the financial district skyline. There is a really cool Television Tower called the Pearl TV tower...it's really neat.

I'm still not sleeping well but I think it's mostly because I'm excited and not because of the jet lag...and I'm still a bit sick but I'm sure I will be fine soon. I miss my Parker Bear and can't wait for him to meet his Little Mei Mei (sister)

I'll post again soon...
