One More Week

I'm ready to come home. It's still cloudy and I can hear car horns honk 31 floors up! Today we toured an embroidery museum (beautiful stuff) then a university ("open air"). Tomorrow we leave for Guangzhou (late, 8:40pm) and the final countdown begins. I wasn't able to download pictures again but should have time tomorrow. Both yesterday and today we had "family style" lunches as part of our tours, sampling many different dishes. Andrew Z on the Travel Channel highly recommended donkey ("tender and flavorful") so I asked our guide. Sure enough, today we had donkey. Not as good as I imagined. Kinda the texture of bacon with a smoky flavor. Oh well, at least I tried something new

Cassidy has had a couple "blow outs" I think from changing formula and teething. She's been waking up every four hours for a bottle making the bags under my eyes more pronounced! She's very funny (and knows it) and loves to imitate. Hopefully, I'll get more pictures of her posted. She still has a "cold" (rattle in her throat she can't cough up), but it's not getting any worse.

It sounds like Emily is doing well, I called her this morning (my time) and she sounded well. It's awful going so long without her but think the trip would be tough with her here, too--she'd hate the long tours in the unheated buildings!

I'm a pretty boring tourist, I know; I'm here for Cassidy--the sightseeing is optional for me. I love you, Emily and can't wait to see you!
