"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break." -- An ancient Chinese belief


"While I slept, my heart kept vigil."

"Today I kissed an angel, I knew it from the start; The first time our eyes met, I gave away my heart.

Today I kissed an angel, This angel child of mine; Though not of my creation, My child by God's design.

Today I kissed an angel, My heart is dancing wild; A family by a miracle, Blessed by this angel child."

The Silk Market and Acrobats

Today we had a free day so we headed to The Silk Market. It was very overwhelming. I didn’t like that you can’t stop and look at anything unless you have intentions on purchasing, as the bartering and tugging begins. We purchased some items for Charlotte as she grows up, as well as a few gifts.

We saw the acrobats this evening with a few families in our group. It was a wonderful performance. Charlotte stayed awake for the whole performance and was quite spell bound at times.

This will be my last post before we leave to come home tomorrow afternoon. Both Charlotte and I have a cold, so I’m not looking forward to the long plane trip; however, we are looking forward to getting home. I’ve missed real coffee—the stuff they serve here is really quite strong and unsatisfying—and peanut butter for 16 days. Our flight on Friday arrives at 6:45 pm on Air Canada Flight 32 from Beijing (terminal 1).

    I'm not a coffee person, but I couldn't wait to get back to real Diet Coke, so I can appreciate how good that first cup is going to taste.
