ONE MORE DAY!

Hello everyone! We have just arrived in Changsha, Hunan. We are going to get Claire at 2:30 Monday afternoon!
We did the Great Wall yesterday, it was awesome. It was a little rainy & cool but worth every minute! We also visited the Cloisonne (sp?) factory. (Nicole--I got your rooster!) We ventured out last night w/a few other couples and hit a pizza buffet not too far from our hotel. I ate nothing but fries, Jeff was a little more adventurous. Pretty much all the pizza had some form of fish on it. No Thanks! Beijing was a cool city to visit, not as bad as I expected. We were also able to see the "Bird's Nest" that will hold the 2008 Olympics.
Changsha is a whole other story. Very crowded (1.6 million) but not as bad as Beijing. Very dirty and smoggy. Our hotel is beautiful though! There are some modern buildings, scattered here and there.
We are still unable to actually view our blog but everyone's comments are being emailed to us. I will continue to post pics on Snapfish so check that out!
More tomorrow after we get our little princess!

Please hug our boys for us! We miss them dearly.
Mindy & Jeff
PS---Kathy & Nicole, you forgot to warn me about the squatty potties! YUCK!!!!!
