Lots of shopping today!

Roger thought Katie should have her own seat on the bus, I thought you guys would enjoy the picture. She was quite pleased with herself to be sitting there.  Today we visited the Chen Family Museum. It was full of really pretty stuff, alot of carved ivory, beautiful embroidery,and home furnishing from the time period. Everywhere we go someone stops some of us to ask about the babies. This was a real big deal back in the province, we received stares everywhere we went.  Even here, with as many adoption families as they see we still get questions and comments, Everyone is nice, the lady talking to me was trying to ask how old Katie is. Its really hard when you have no idea what they are saying yet she kept on talking to me until another lady in our group figured out what she was trying to ask. The island is GREAT! We have eaten more today than we have in the last week! The breakfast buffet here at the hotel has everything you could want for a western breakfast plus chicken nuggets, baked beans and tater tots. We bought a stroller today, Katie is a real trooper but this heat is to much to wear her all the time in the carrier. The strollers are cheap, like 25 US new. We also visited the Jade store today! Roger was very good to us, Madison, Katie and myself now all have some nice Jade. Since they are so little I will enjoy theirs as well as mine until they are older. Rhonda and I walked the island during Katie's nap today to check prices on silk dresses and sqeeky shoes. I plan to buy some tomorrow. We took a picture of a bride and groom, we have been here two days and have seen 6-8 brides getting their photo's done. It is really pretty here and alot more comfortabe. We still can't drink the water, and no ice in our glasses but we are in great shape now.
