Today was a long day, we took a 2 hour car ride to Gabriel's city today. Whille we were there we visited his orphanage, his finding spot, and a local pottery shop that seemed to be very popular.

At his orphanage we got to meet this little boy who seemed to have been in foster care and he had a cleft lip defect, but he was so sweet. I would have guessed him to have been only 1 or 2, maybe younger. We played in a little room with the little boy for a while and G had fun with the video camera. We were there for about thirty minutes before we had to leace to go see Gabriel's finding spot.

G's finding spot was right in front of a life insurance building, not far from the orphanage. W only stayed for about five minutes for pictures and stuff like that. Mom got a little bit emotional when our guide told us this was were he was found. She said that she couldn't imagine someone abandoning a child like that. Then we headed to the pottery.

We had a little bit o trouble finding the place because it had moved since the last time our driver was there. It took us and extra 20 minutes just to find it, what a drag, haha. When we finally found it we got to go up into the factory part and watch them make some of the pottery. It was pretty neet to watch how then hand carved every detail into the sculptures and vases. Then mom found the giftshop, oh no, mom was probably in there for an hour just looking at tea sets and dolphin sculptures. She finally bought 2 tea sets, one for a friens and one for us, and a set of dolphin sculptures for our house. Finally our day in his city was over and we headed back to the hotel, 2 hours away, for some much needed rest.

YAY!!!! Yesterday was a great day, I got my new baby bro!!! He is so cute you just want to squeeze him, haha and that is pretty much all we did yesterday. We went out at 10 to go shopping at Wal-Mart for some snacks, then we walked back to the hotel instead of taking a taxi. The greenery is so beautiful here in Nanning, this city is like our southern florida, it is nice in the winter but very hot in the summer. Then at 3 o'clock we went to the Civil Affairs office to get the little guy. Me and my parents were very nervous and anxious to meet the little guy and we didnt know if he would like us or not?? A couple minutes later when he walked in the room my parents were so overjoyed to see him, he is so adorable!! I was working the video cam so i didnt get to play with him at first but when we got back to the hotel i played around with him alot! He has a great smile and a wonderful laugh :) he loves Congee(The equivelent to something like gritz or porrage)and he also likes Noodles. Hope that i learn more about him tomorrow and that we play some more.
