We stayed on the island until 1 p.m. We walked all around and bought some stuff all around the place. Each time we stopped, we were "stalked" by salespeople trying to make a sale to us Americans! One time the salesperson followed Linda around with a fan!!! Emmy and I tried to stay in front of the air conditioner because it is HOT!!!! We were so lucky with the summer we had in Arkansas. Linda and I are paying for it right now!
We kept our string of not eating Chinese food and had lunch at Subway, eat fresh! Not too bad. We found out that Emmy loves Lays potato chips. We don't know if that is a good thing or not.
During our walk around the island, we saw several brides getting their photos taken. I was jealous of some of the lighting equipment they were using. Oh, and all the photographers were using Canon. And the brides were all beautiful, some wearing traditional Chinese wedding dresses and some wearing American style wedding dresses.
We came back to the hotel and I had to go to the "paperwork party" while Linda stayed in the room with Emmy. The paperwork took about 2 hours and we got the stuff done we need to be able to get Emmy's visa and bring her home later this week.
We then went to the Italian Restaurant down the street from our hotel. We had garlic bread and pepperoni pizza. It was pretty good. Linda and Emmy then went back to the hotel while I crossed the bridge and went to McDonald's to get us a Coke and some chicken nuggets.
We've noticed that Emmy is having trouble eating at times. She hides her food some or stuffs her mouth. We think it might have something to do with being in an orphanage and being afraid that she might not have enough food. Hopefully, this is something she will grow out of when she finally figures out that she doesn't have to worry about food or not having any.
Tomorrow, we go back to the medical exam office to have Emmy's TB skin test checked. It looks good right now so hopefully, we won't have any problems. We also go to a local museum tomorrow.
And yes, I'm wearing a Lonoke Jackrabbits' T-shirt, the one I got after the Jackrabbits won the 2008 state basketball championship. And for you Bison fans, I've got a Carlisle one ready to put on!
Love to all.

Grace kept food in her mouth at the beginning. I think it took about a month or so for her not to keep it stuffed. I think it is an orphanage thing too!
