We've been very busy learning to be a family together. Mia is just adorable. Her growth report from the orphanage had described her as active and restless, and that has proven very true. She really keeps us on our toes. She loves her Mommy and Daddy a lot. You'd never know she joined our family just 3 days ago.
Today Mia rode in a stroller for the first time, and she had her first McDonald's hamburger. It wasn't too bad. She would have tried the apple pie as well (the orphanage says apples and crackers are her favorite foods), but when I attempted to order that through our guide, she said their response was that they don't serve apple pie, they have green bean pie instead. We passed.
Each morning, the eight families go somewhere in Nanchang together. Yesterday Wal*Mart, today a pavilion (i.e., pagoda) that is the only tourist destination in Nanchang. Our guide tells us that Nanchang is a working-class city, and doesn't attract a lot of tourists. Jiangxi province is largely agricultural, and is known for rice and green tea. It grows most of the green tea consumed in Southern China. In Northern China, they prefer jasmine tea. Jiangxi is also known fo its porcelain manufacturing. We went to a porcelain market this afternoon to purchase a souvenir from Mia's home province.
