First day in Shanghai

We had a good, relaxing day yesterday. We got to video chat with our kids at home. Hard to be so far away from them. So thankful they are doing ok so far. We had a good breakfast in the hotel, yummy fried rice and steamed buns, along with American food. We then ventured out about three miles to the Bund, a beautiful walkway next to the river. Saw cruise ships, barges, yachts. I loved the beautiful European buildings. Shanghai is much different than any other city we have been in in China. We enjoyed a frappachino at Starbucks. Rod and Austin were even asked to have their picture taken with some people. This city is very touristy as we have seen/heard different nationalities and languages. We enjoyed a relaxing afternoon then went to dinner at a restaurant next to the hotel. There are not really any other restaurants close by, but hoping to venture out tonight if Bethany is doing ok. We met our fellow Bethany family yesterday afternoon. They have their 6 year old son with them and are adopting a 23 month old little boy. Makes me think of Caleb who is almost 6 and who was 23 mos old when we brought him home from China 4 years ago! So today is Bethany's Gotcha Day! Its hard to believe we will have six children! Never would have thought or planed for that, and that we would be here in China for the third time. We are getting ready to go down and eat breakfast then be on our way. So prayers the next few hours would be wonderful!
