Another Pair of Little Shoes at the Door

Yesterday we found our way around with our guide, Michael.  He took us to Wal-Mart to buy an umbrella stroller ($33/219 yen) and to the local market, Bravo.  The Chinese love candies, but they are not sweet like you would think based on the wrapper.  The green gummy like candy we tried was thick like a tofu texture and not sweet at all.  Of course, Matt loved it and the rest of us will pass next time.
A friend from work has a cousin, Meredith, who has lived here for 2 years, so we met her family for dinner.  We had Papa John's pizza which was delicious!  They are wonderful people and made Chongqing feel a little smaller and more quaint than before.  Meredith is actually meeting us today at the adoption center to help take photos/video and be there for help with communication along with Michael.  God has taken such good care of us here and provided for our every need.
Here are some pictures from the humid city and our day. The first pic is the candy bar from the market.  The city pics are our view from our hotel window.  The last is Meredith and myself after Papa John's in the public park area.
We meet Avery this afternoon and we are all excited!  We miss you all and appreciate you so much!
