Today was a free day but it is hard to be free when it is raining Siamese cats and Chinese crested dogs!! Between the smog and rain, I do not think that I have seen the sun since Nashville. This afternoon we went to a very cute island, called Shamian Island. It is where most adopting families have stayed (at the White Swan). However, the island is having a lot of construction, so the adoption agency thought it would be better not to stay there. But it is a really cute place. It reminds me of what an English colony, like Bermuda would be like. We spent only an hour there and I wish it was longer. If we ever get a nice day I will probably go back. We then went to the pearl and jade stores and spent about 2 hours there, that was way too long!!! Darci is a good shopper (just like her mom and grandma) as long as we are moving. I have thought a lot about my mom today (she died 15 years ago today), I hope that I am half the mother to Darci as she was to me. Darci is very funny in that she talks to herself all the time and not always quietly. The last 3 nights she has fallen asleep in my arms, I think that we are getting use to each other. Tomorrow is another free day, which I hope is a rain free day. I am ready to come home and get into a normal routine.
