Today has been a busy day. We left for the Civil Affairs office at 8:20 am. The orphanage representative was quite late, so it took forever to complete the paperwork. Then we went to the Passport office to apply for Alexa's passport.
Alexa had been doing very well, but as soon as she saw the lady from the orphanage, she started withdrawing again. :-(
After the passport office, our guide took us to a Tea Room run by the University here. Yunnan is the only place in the world that produces a special Puer tea. We tried all sorts of different kinds of tea. The best tea was one that was 21 years old. You buy a round solid piece of tea and are supposed to keep it for your child until their wedding, then serve the tea to everyone at the wedding. Very neat.
We came back to our room for a short time, then walked to KFC for lunch. After lunch we did a little shopping, got the girls ice cream, then found a "pet street" where they were selling dogs of all kinds. I thought it was a good chance to get the girls used to dogs, since both girls told the guide that they did not like dogs. Turns out they do! Avery was a little hesitant, but Alexa went right over and pet several dogs.
We walked a LONG way back to the hotel and have just been resting and hanging out. There are toys all over the place and the girls are having fun playing together.
