Day 3

Madisyn woke up at 5:45am, with big smiles and lots of hugs and kisses for Momma. Dadda got a wave! She is just too cute. We got ready and went for breakfast. Wow, this girl sure can put the food away! We tried giving her watermelon, she threw it back at me. What a funny kid!

After breakfast was over, we decided to be brave and go for a walk. Jason had warned me about the smells but wow, it's awful. It smells like raw sewage. Lovely! People here did their share of staring and I keep walking proud as a peacock. She is beautiful, how can I not?

On our way down the left side of the hotel, Jason and I noticed a gated building which looks very interesting. We are not sure if it's an orphanage, but it's very questionable.

We did get some sad news today. The family from Newfoundland who is here with us in Hohhot is going to have to stay another week. Something to do with the power of attorney. This really sucks because our families have become very close. I am going to miss them so much.

Anyway, we are totally in love and can't wait to get back to Beijing. It's so rural here that even finding water and food is a chore.
