Last night in Changsha, pictures of the countryside

Hello everyone. This will be our last night in Changsha and we will leave for Guangzhou tomorrow morning. We really like it here in Changsha and are sad to leave the area where Merrin was born but we are excited about getting to Guangzhou to complete the US side of the paperwork so we can then come home and show this little one off. Guangzhou is a much different area from where we are now. We have not really ventured out too much on our own over here, but in Guangzhou it is much more westernized and we will be able to walk all around and shop by ourselves and they have Starbucks so I am really excited about that! Today we took a ride to the country side and it was so different then what we have seen in the city. We saw rice patties and a water buffalo and it was just fun to see the local people and the way they live. All the babies are doing great and it is really fun to see their personalities come out more everyday. Merrin slept about the same last night and is now taking a nap. Her rash seems to be getting a little better, one of the Mom's gave us some hydro-cortisone cream so I that has helped. We went to the playroom and hung out with the other babies and then to dinner with the group, we will really miss the food here!

Lots of love from China,

Joey, Wendy and Merrin Francis
