Happy Birthday Dad!

Leila is still fussy today, and we had a pretty sleepless night. But Darrell is feeling better.

We went to the zoo today. I think it was about the same size as the Columbus zoo. We got to see a 'real' chinese panda. It would have been nicer if it weren't so darn hot here though. It's just so muggy and sticky.


They don't have pickup trucks here. When we told Rosa that we had a truck, she didn't understand. We had to draw a picture of one for her. That's when we noticed that there weren't any here.
On our walk last night, we found a little guitar shop. I had seen it yesterday when we went to pick up the official adoption decree, so we went looking for it. Asking directions in Chinese is fun. We got to close to where I thought I'd seen it, then we tried to ask. Austin and I ended up playing air guitar - but that was what worked. As we were walking away, there were about 4 bellboys or something still 'playing'.

We were watching a program on tv. We found out that the Beijing airport is the largest one in the world. It is also one of the safest, due to all the technology they've put in. Sort of interesting.
