We spent today getting acclimated to Nanning. The kids went swimming and discovered a ping pong table in the hotel and have decided that this is the greatest game ever. The hotel had to go out and get some more ping pong balls just for the kids. We also ventured out and went to a place that we thought would be familiar to us...Walmart. Much like everything else in China, the Walmarts in China are quite different and are truly "Chinese" stores. It was quite an experience. It was 3 stories tall and in the center of Nanning. Walmart even had escalators -- with conveyor belts to take your cart with you when you went up the levels. Nothing like seeing the large smiley face over a price drop on bulk rice and seaweed!
We've attached some photos from today's adventures. We'll post another update once Fiona has joined us.

Sue,I am so excited for you and your family. I feel like I'm there again waiting for little Morgan! Tell Echo hello for me. She has some new pictures of Morgan to show the orphanage director. I can't wait to see Fiona in your arms!
well according to the clock it is about 5am in china. Just a few more hours until you get your little girl. It has seemed like forever ago since this whole process started, and I am so glad the time has finally come for you to hold her in your arms. give Fiona and the rest of the kids hugs and kisses for me, and I look foward to seeing pictures of the newest addition to our family. Continue to have lots of fun on the rest of your journey. We miss you.
Love,
The kappes family
