Day 12 - July 25

Another day closer to home!!! Only eight more nights in China!

I have a huge praise today! A few days ago I woke up with a swollen jaw and cheek, and a lot of pain in my jaw. Not sure of the reason but it was either smog causing a sinus infection (I am very allergic to smog) or an infection from a tooth that broke just before I left for China. Last night I prayed and asked God to heal it as there is no way for me to fix it here and I did not bring any antibiotics to save on expenses. This morning I woke up and it is gone!!! No swelling, no pain nothing! Praise God!!!

I stuck to our routine today! Up to breakfast back to the room to play for a while while Mom washed the cloths out and out to walk around for a while and back to the room to have lunch and out again for a walk and supper.
I gave the boys some new stickers today and they love to put them in their little notebooks I gave them. This is one of their favorite quiet activities.

This is a Holiday Inn Express. You can see it in the picture below. It is not very far from the train station and it is a beautiful newer building. The interesting thing is going over a street and looking back through the other buildings it is such a contrast to the buildings around it. If you are walking you go down the street from our hotel and when you get to the Holiday Inn Express you turn left and you can walk down to Russian Street.

This is my favorite fruit stand. Their mangoes are delicious!!! Also the best price I have found around town. This is on the way to the Holiday Inn Express from the Ramada.

I had to throw this picture in!!! It is the first time I have been in China and seen beautiful BLUE SKY!!! It is not overcast and NO SMOG!!!!!!!!!!

This is where we had dinner tonight, we were going to go to the Thia place that Regina and Bobbie went to but when we got there they were closed to redecorate. This still had good food. They have the best fresh mango juice! Then we were back to our room and ready for bed with hardly any fussing and of to sleep by 7:30!
