Journey to Julie

Dear Family and Friends! Thanks for being so supportive throughout this adoption process. Here is our "blog"-- a way for you to keep abreast of our amazing journey to Julie. We plan to update this site all the way up to coming home from China. After that, I imagine we will be too busy. Plus, you can come visit at that point anyway!!!

Greetings from HONG KONG


We made it to Hong Kong safe and sound yesterday morning at about 6 am. We met up with a lot of the families at SFO, and met the rest of them this morning for our organized tour. The above picture was taken yesterday on the "Star Ferry" which took us around Victoria harbor. Don't you think the name of the ferry is appropriately named? Yvonne, if you are reading this we are both wearing our best "quick-dry" clothing. The weather is actually not as hot as I expected it to be. It reminds me of Hawaii. Yesterday it rained off and on, but today was gorgeous. Today the tour took us to Victoria Peak, Stanley Market, Aberdeen Jewelry Factory, and the Aberdeen fisherman village where we got to take a ride on a sampan boat. Tomorrow we are off to Chongqing, another step closer to Julie. Until next time.....
