Gotcha morning

We are going to get Maggie at 3 PM today. This morning we will have breakfast in the hotel and will go shopping at Walmart at 11 AM. We will then take a nap before leaving to get her. We met two families from our group last night. We went to eat at Pizza Hut. The walk to the restaurant was different. There were people everywhere and you have to be very careful crossing the streets. The pizza was alot like at home, so Barbara was safe with it. The other two couples are very very nice. One couple has three children at home and are adopting a daughter only a month older than Maggie. The other couple brought their 5 year old daughter with them (soon to be 6) and are adopting a 4 year old. They took a tour of Beijing and said it was incredible, but alot of people. There are 6 million people in Nanning and 16 million in Beijing. I couldn't imagine. The pictures I posted were taken at the first two hotels we have stayed at. The ones shot from above are from our room at the Majestic. We actually slept much better last night and are ready for our big day!! I hope to have lots of picture soon.
