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.
