Day 3 with Miss Mia, still in Changsha
Hey everyone, I hope you are enjoying the blog. Jack and Harry called this morning (Tuesday night for them) and told us they loved the photos and seeing us so that in itself makes it all worth it.
Skip this if you are only interested in the photos as today's update will be a long one.
I am sitting in our room at about 3 pm and Mia is sleeping. I am actually calling her "Zhou Zhou" often which she reacts to. She is getting more beautiful every day and already knows Mary's voice and follows her with her eyes constantly. We are very lucky to have her as ours now.
Went out for a run at around 6:30 this morning. Mia is actually sleeping all night so no problems there. Changsha is very busy but I stumbled accross a cool park where the Chinese were up early dancing (every morning many chinese dance and perform Tai Chi). I have to say one does not get bored jogging here. I find my eyes alert to everything as it is all so different. One thing that really stands out is that almost all families have one child, and most of the children out and about are boys. That really hit home.
We did a little sight seeing today, Mary has continued on to a Wall-Mart if you can beleive it. We started at the Changsha Museum (actually the museum for all of Hunan Province). For those that do not know, Hunan is in south central china and has a population of about 65 million people. Changsha is the capital with a population of about 6 million. Hunan is famous for spicy food (the second hotest in all of China after Sichaun), Mao and also embroidery. There was also a very interestig archeological dig here about 30 years ago where 3 tombs of the Han Dynasty were found after 2100 years. We saw the corpse at the Museum today and I have uploaded the photo as it is incredible to see.
We later went to a beautiful park and then to the embroidery institute. Embroidery is well known in Hunan and the detail is fascinating. The picture here is embroidery even though it appears as clear as an oil painting. The photo of the young chinese girls are in the midst of their work.
Back to Mia. She is getting stronger everyday and cuter too. We are here for a couple more days until we get her passport and then off to Beijing.
I hope you enjoyed this.
