Tomorrow

is the day we meet Saige. We meet in the hotel lobby at 7 a.m. to make the 3-4 hour ride to Tuyen Quang. YAY!
We have met so many families since we've been here. All very nice and very helpful. It's so nice that we are going in groups week after week because we can share information and pass things to the groups after us. Today we went to a local store a couple blocks from the hotel and stocked up on formula. We have PLENTY for the next group so don't worry about rushing out to get some when you get here. We also went to Metro (thanks Mer) and bought a walker. Boy was that an experience. We had to get a card to get in just like Sam's Club. Then they tell us no kids are allowed in so Tom and Carl stayed with Karley....boy were Tom and Carl sad that they couldn't walk around with us...NOT! They got to sit and chat the whole time which was fine by them! Then, we get up to the register and they don't take US dollar. Just my luck the ONE place I didn't bring dong is the ONE place they don't accept US dollar. So then I had to use the bank they had at the store and FINALLY I was able to check out. What a day!

Last night we ate at Bobby Chinn's with Carol and Steve. The food was really good and we had a great time. Believe it or not I have mastered using chopsticks. I was joking that I could do like karate kid and catch a fly with one!
