Lijiang Day 7 and Nanchang Day 8

Yesterday we left beautiful Lijiang and began the adoption portion of our trip.  Z-Man had a good time tearing apart our hotel room before we left.


We took a last walk around Old Town and The Artist made a puppy friend.


We spent most of the day traveling - sitting in airport and airplanes.  But even traveling you can find interesting things - like this fruit The Artist photographed at a vending stall at Kunming Airport.  Any idea what it is?  Yeah - me neither.


Today we are at the hotel in Nanchang.  Zoe will be arriving around 3:00 this afternoon, and the whole family will be different.  I can't wait to meet her, but the whole thing is also terrifying.  So glad God is in control!

Nanchang is a city of 5 million people a couple of hours away from Zoe's city, Xinyu.  Here's the view out our hotel window.


It is a modern city, China style.  Here's a close up of the building across the street from our very nice hotel.  Notice the chickens living on the roof.


I will be updating the blog later this evening once we have Zoe, so check back in the morning Chicago time :')
