Last night we sampled some of the local Beijing cuisine, including Peking duck. Tonight it was time to try Chongqing's specialty, hot pot. This is more or less spicy Chinese fondue with a bowl of boiling spices in the middle of the table that you can use to cook chicken, pork, vegetables, crab and various unidentifiable food items. It was really very tasty.
We also got to see the Great Hall of the People and spend some time at the riverfront. Chongqing is a pretty enormous city, with a population of 8 million in the city itself and 34 million living in the municipality of Chongqing (the blue area on the map to the right).
By the time you wake up tomorrow, David will be with us!

Crib and stroller are awesome! Happy Gotcha day tomorrow. We will be thinking of you. We need some pictures of WuMart if you have some space on the card not used for David.
A crib, now that makes it real! Thanks for making it possible for all of us to be a part of this great adventure.
Happy Gotcha Day! Lots of prayers!

At supper we realized that Gotcha Day is dawning where you are. You all are waking - that is, if you were able to sleep - and getting ready!
David is waking after having spent his last night in foster care!
Joy!
