Gotcha Eve

We visited the Summer Palace today. We are so glad we came early to witness and experience LuXue's culture. Everyone has been SO nice to us. They seem so happy we are here in their country. They greet us with warm smiles and cheerfully say hello to us "Halow!" Those in urban areas live in such tight quarters in their tiny apartments. So they go out a lot and join the community together to parks to sing, play music, exercise together, dance, play games, with anyone! So different from our culture where we sometimes easily isolate ourselves and often barely know our neighbors. Also I am getting the hang of the "one hole" on the floor toilet situation. It's the first time in Asia I've encountered not having a choice of the type of toilet. I have to take all my pants and undies off though because I'm not such a straight shooter!

We have arrived in Nanjing and checked into our hotel. Tomorrow is the big day we have been waiting for.  We arrived at the hotel and I cried when we walked into the room, not because we had been upgraded to a beautiful suite, but because I saw they had the crib set up next to the bed. Turndown service just came in, and she not only turned down our bed, but the crib. Tomorrow night there will be a precious child in it.

Excited Daddy to Be!
