It's amazing what 24 hours can do! Last night Ella started to give us eye contact while feeding her. And she woke up smiling and giggling this morning. What a relief! And we found out from the other families this morning that they all had a rough day yesterday. It must just be something about that 3-day mark. And I'm guessing the adoption agency probably knew it, as they had nothing scheduled for us that day.
Today we went to Green Mountain Park. It was very beautifully landscaped with temples and relics, gardens and towers. There was a coy pond with an unbelievable amount of fish waiting to be fed by the tourists. It was an overcast day, which helped keep the heat down. But the humidity was so high.

After the park we went to the Pearl Market. Guangxi province is known for the pearls from the South China Sea. We are about an hour from the sea and 2 hours from Vietnam to the south. The ethnic minorities are apparently very similar here to what they are in Vietnam, and there is a large population in Nanning from Vietnam and Laos.
Friday we fly out in the afternoon to Guangzhou, the last stop on our trip. My dear friend Cathy, who is living in Shanghai, will fly in to see us. We get in late in the evening so I probably won't get to post.

We are so happy to hear that she is responding to you guys so quickly. I can't imagine the feelings going through her. She must be realizing how much love you have for her! Enjoy the rest of your trip, I'm sure Ian is getting excited to have you home soon. Carson said he is very excited to see Ian this weekend.
Love, Dale, Danielle and Carson
Oh my gosh, she is just adorable. I love the newly bathed picture, it's so cute. You better not cut that hair. She has plenty of older "girly" cousins that would love to do her hair.
We are so glad that you had a wonderful day with her. What a joy!!! We miss you guys! Candy and family.
