Today was Lainey's birthday. The hotel prepared a cake for her. It was a beautiful cake almost too pretty to cut into! She wasn't fond of the taste but it was fun anyhow. This morning we went to a museum which housed items from this province (Hubei) more than 2000 years old. We were fortunate enough to drive by the orphanage where Lainey was taken care of. We got a couple of pictures there too. This afternoon Lainey took a good nap which was nice. Our escort is so amazed at how well she is doing and at how smart she is. She repeats everything she says. It is funny though when she gets mad at us and chews us out in Chinese!!! She speaks the local dialect here so sometimes the escort can't even understand her so I am glad we didn't invest our time in learning much of the language! Tomorrow we travel so probably won't post. Thank you to everyone who is following us along our journey! Can't wait to see you all!
Happy birthday, Lainey!!! So glad you got to spend her birthday with her! It is one you will never forget! Will be praying for travel for you!!
