Day 3, Chengdu!

The road trip continues.....today we travelled to Chengdu and it's an awesome city. Lots of people, lots of cars and bikes but all very interesting. Our guide here, Sandy, met us at the airport and gave us the rundown of what will happen tomorrow when we go to the orphanage. Seems pretty straightforward and easy. We'll get to see her "classroom" and play area and meet all her buddies. Only one more day!!! Nicky is so excited today. Hard to tell if it's because we're getting Sydney tomorrow or because we took him to lunch at McDonalds!! Today was a day to walk around and explore downtown Chengdu. Nice city. Nicky seems to be a real point of fascination for people in China. They literally stop what they're doing to stare at him. A woman even asked to have her picture taken with him. A group of tourists from Japan came over to say 'hi'. A group of older men swarmed him as he was taking pictures. They're very curious about him and display their curiousity quite openly! Today is our last day as a family of 3....tomorrow we become a family of 4. Watch for the pictures!!
