We got out of the Zoo! Today was Zoo day. Before that was breakfast. They have gotten on to us so today they put all the adoption families in a separate room. I am rebelling tomorrow. They are going to try and nicely direct us again to that dark dreary room. I'm not going in so wish me luck. The regular breakfast area is very nice the entire outside wall is all windows so it is very nice. I need light to wake up. Anyway I stole two bananas as well as a muffin for Lydia. The trip to the zoo was good, the only differences were they let u closer to the animals than at home and they have rats. They just mingle within the exhibits. With the monkeys. They don't seem to mind them and they are confined but we found it a little gross. The zoo was nice and clean besides that. We got back to the room about 12:30. Lydia took a 3 hr nap and I got about an hour. I never really felt awake most of the day. Rosanne went out and found a few good shopping spots. We went to dinner at 5:45. McDonalds. It was good. Then shopping. Bought the girls China dresses. A girl working there tried to file Lydia's shoes. They are the ones that she had on her when we got her and the soles are coming off. Go figure they say made in the USA on them. Anyway they started falling apart about 10 mins after. Hopefully we can hot glue them at home. Want to keep them for sure. We got back and sat in the lobby for about an hour and people watched. Lydia is a crackup. She rambles non stop. She walked all around. She is not as afraid of other people as she had been. Tomorrow is a busy day. We have our visa appt at the US Consulate. After that the group goes shopping at 11:30 then we have group picture at 4:30. Thursday we leave for Hong Kong and Friday we are OUTTA HERE. I am sure I will have funny stuff to report tomorrow. I am just tired and ready to come home so not feeling very funny tonight. Signing off till tomorrow. Russ
