The Summer Palace

So, today we ventured out on our own to The Summer Palace. The taxi ride there and back was almost adventure enough, but we're still glad we went.

Here are a few pictures we took....































C & M arrived today. They've been up for basically the last 48 hours. I don't know how they're still standing. We went about a block from our hotel tonight for dinner, and had roast duck. Very tasty.

So, just as a last note -- can someone please leave a comment?! I've posted three days in a row, here, and no comments! Unless they just aren't showing up for me.

Happy Canada Day everyone! Tomorrow we meet E & A!!!

Hi K --
I tried posting a comment yesterday, but I see that it hasn't shown up. Probably something I did.
Anyway, I am trying again...
Glad to see that you made it safe and sound and are having a good time. Thrilled to see that you are able to post to your Blogger site, so that we can follow you on your adventure!
Have fun...keep posting...we will be watching!!

Hi again K --

It seems that people have been posting comments but they are not being published until they have been "approved by the blog author". So I managed to get in and approve them on your behalf. You should see a bunch of comments now!

Hi K & C!

Glad to see you're having a great time and able to get in some sight seeing in despite the heat. If I'd known you were into the bargaining, I would have sent over a shopping list!

Ma Rui is great isn't she! Tell her hi from MJ & Werner (August 2003 Hunan). You can tell her we were in the same group as Sonya and Paul and returned for An Li in November.

It's around 11:30 Saturday night China time and I bet you are still wide awake! Like you're going to get any sleep tonight,,, Tee hee! I've got a lump in my throat knowing what's ahead,,,almost reliving the moment.

Acutally, by the time you read this you will probably already have your precious daughters with you. Congratulations and Hugs!

Hi guys

I am checking your blog every day, and loving your postings and pictures. Can't wait for delivery day, and pictures of A&E. Don't forget that when they cry and make strange, it is a good thing! Keep up the good work with the postings and take good care.

With love from Auntie 'Em

So sometime during the night, while we are sleeping, you will finally meet A and E.

I hope the moment you meet/met the girls is/was everything you had hoped for.

I cannot wait to see the next blog posting, as it should contain some photos (hopefully) and a bit of information about the girls.

Take care
