Safe Enough to Walk!

Each day we find that Zachary feels more and more comfortable with us. Today he decided he felt safe enough to let go of mom & dad and walk around the hotel room. He was motorin' around this afternoon before nap time. Our arm muscles were happy for some relief:)

Zachary's appetite has not slowed down a bit. In fact, he ate more than mom and dad at bfast this morning. The hotel here has a good mix of typical Chinese bfast food and American food. He likes to eat dumplings, stewed buns, eggs and fruit. You should see him when he is motioning for more food. He takes his pointer finger and politely taps his plate. We cracked up laughing when he started doing this. We are trying to teach him the sign for "more" instead.....

We went on a tour of Jinci Temple today. It was first built in the Western Zhour Dynsaty (the 11th century BC) to worship Duke SHunyu of Jin State. The temple has remains of sculptures and stone tablets from several Dynsasties. It was interesting to hear stories of how the Chinese people worshiped these gods. Even today while we were there we saw people paying respects to the Gods and leaving treasures at their altar.

This morning we met a few people from the US and Britain. It was a relief to speak English at full speed!

We'll be leaving for Guanzhou on Friday morning for the final leg of our trip. We'll get all of Zach's visa paperwork done there. We now have his passport.
