Things you forget

Hello,
One of the things you forget about if you have not had an infant around the house for a while is the importance of a good dirty diaper. Unless you have lived it you really can not understand how otherwise rational adults can be consumed by the bowel movements of infanst. There has been much conversation in our group today about who has not pooped who has and when. I had fogotten that part of being a parent. On to a more acceptable topic. Before we left for the orphanage this a.m. Addie and I walked across the street (it took me this long to get up the courage) to a large park. There were probably 30-40 kites being flown. Most of the people flying kites were men in there 50's to 60's. The kites were mostly homemade and really something to see. In some places 2 or 3 people were working together. They put a lot of time is some of those kites. On one side of the park some employees of a business were doing pre-work exercises. They really get use out of there parks and public places here. The orphanage was about 2 hours away. As haphazard as traffic is in the city it is very controlled on the highways. I think we drove about 50 miles an hour and there was not much traffic. There were people sweeping the sides of the highways and the onramps all along the way. I really do not know how to describe the orphanage. The people were very nice and we were served a meal that was probably the best meal I have had since we got here. I think this was probably the most authentic Chinese food I have had. I am leaving to go back to Guangzhou tomorrow so I may not post anything but I will if we get settled in early enough. I am going to try to post a couple of pics here and then a few more on another post. I have had a hard time getting them to post lately.
