Stir Crazy

We are all a little stir crazy!  Our hotel is very nice but there are a lot of us in two small rooms.  We go for a lot of walks in the area. It's fun and we get some funny looks.  We went to one park and suddenly had a crowd of elementary school children running after us and practicing their english! It looked like something from an old musical.
We tried a local Chinese restaurant last night.  No one there spoke even a word of english and Nathan's Mandarin didn't cut it.  We ate a lot of good food, made a big mess, and caused quite a stir.  I think we paid the right amount...?  Of course we all woke up a little nauseous - HA!  There is no Chic-fil-et in Fuzhou.
It's Thursday night here and we are trying to figure out what to have for supper. Sandy and I are opting out of food for the evening - but we figure the kids should have some sort of something - any suggestions?
Tomorrow we pick up Isaac's passport and travel to Guangzhou for the remainder of our trip and paperwork.  The rest of our 19 family group will all converge on Guangzhou tomorrow as well.  Everyone's family has grown!  Pray everyone is adjusting well.
Need some pictures?

So happy to hear you like the hotel and have a place to get out and walk. I remember the stares we got when in Chongqing with EllaKate. Looks like the zoo wore Isaac out. Love all your pictures!!! Especially the one of him smiling! Can't wait to see our little one smile. Praying for you all as you transition to Guangzhou. Blow kisses to SJ as you leave her there. The last pic you all sent us was comforting. I know there is a precious person there loving her while we wait.
Blessings,
Sharon

Sorry I commented twice. I thought the first one didn't go through. I didn't read where you had to approve it. So just don't publish both or this one. Karen
