Changsha Day 3

Today we were able to sleep in a bit - we all had a good night's sleep. We did not have to meet for the bus until 10, so we had a somewhat leisurely morning. It was really great to hear from home - it doesn't make you seem so far away.

We went to the Embroidery factory today - Hunan province is famous for its embroidery. The pictures show some of these pieces - the look exactly like paintings, but are actually stitched from silk! The attached shot of a panda actually has a panda embroidered on one side and a tiger on the other - onto the same piece of translucent fabric! It was just incredible.

Nap time for all - we do not have any more excursions today besides dinner - we had leftover pizza for lunch. We might venture out to the store this afternoon, depending on how Caitlin is doing. One of the other Moms (who has 4 other children!) thinks that Caitlin has an ear infection, since she is playing with her ears quite a bit. So to be safe, I am going to give her some Zithromax.

She is also pretty cranky, but I am not sure if that is partly from the ear infection or if it is just the grief over losing her foster mother.

Enjoy the pictures!
