Our Day of Rest

Today we had no paperwork or appointments. It began with a trip to the zoo. Little did we know we would be the hottest attractions there. People tried to discreetly stand near to us to get a photo of themselves with a non Asian. One man told his daughter "I send you to a school to learn English. Can't you practice with them?" So funny. After a while we'd smile and wave then. They would do the same.
I desperately wanted to start a save the zoo fund right then and there. It was a sad place.

Afterward we went to a tea shop. Henan province is a major grower of tea. We were able to get some. After that I brought little Miss O and Cole up to the room for a nap. Cole isn't feeling well today. behind his ear has swollen and it hurts to chew. For any of you who know Cole, this is a fate worse than death. we can't tell if it is a tooth issue, ear or what. We gave him Motrin and will see how the night goes. Olivia is also not feeling well.
She has goop coming out of her eyes and she is coughing. She's also teething.
We'll just keep an eye on everyone.

Tonight the 3 families had dinner together. It really helps to see how everyone is adjusting. Very nice people. At dinner, Mike and Matthew tried seahorse Saki. The seahorses were floating in the jar. I am happy to say they both shrieked at how horrible it was. Really? You had to drink it to decide it would taste badly?
Have a great day today. I am off to bed. Tomorrow we venture off into a cab to find a store that sells Olivia's formula. She still isn't eating. Good night from China. 

Love to all,
The Flint Five
