Day Six


Today was an adventure in the city of Wuhan.  Nine million people and they are all out and about.  Our guide picked us up at 9:30 and took us to a very nice museum.  It was interesting to see artifacts approximately 2,000 years old.  They are most famous for a musical instrument that has about 65 bronze bells that can still make music.  I want to learn as much as I can about the city that Li Qing is from.  Actually she is from a smaller town about 1 hour away.  This is the largest major city.  After the museum we came back to the room and worked on some school lessons.  I was pleasantly surprised how interested she is in learning.  After our lessons we took her to a nearby mall to walk around and get some dinner.  I must say that when you venture out near the street you are putting your life in your own hands.  Li Qing is quite street smart and walks at a very fast pace.  If you don't walk quickly you will get run over by a motorcycle, bicycle, or the people.  We successfully crossed the street which is definitely a feat.

Li Qing is doing remarkably well.  She might be small in stature, but she has a huge appetite.  This precious baby has not stopped eating.  Food has not been an issue because she will tell us somehow what she wants.  She is a strong-willed little girl and gets her point across.  We heard her first real "belly laugh" today.  So cute and precious to hear.  Below are some pictures that our the highlights from our day.  I apologize if there are any typos.  It's hard to blog when you are tired.  I still have not adjusted to the time zone very well.
