November 1

Today, Natalie got her health check-up and everything was wonderful. It was a nice day. With one exception, I had a migraine in the morning and slept it off. Needless to say, I was useless to Karen. But, the nap did some good and we had a good day from that point.

After the check-up, our group toured the area around our hotel with Michael (our adoption facilitator), then had lunch at Lucy's. This was after, of course, Michael left the group long enough to come get me up and going. Lucy's was a good restaurant. Lucy's serves a very American-friendly menu. We liked it enough that we also ate dinner there that night.

The traffic here close to the hotel is very calm. Although, just across the bridge it is busy and hectic like Beijing and Chongqing. The shopping here is good and the businesses definitely cater to the adoptive-family market. There is a also a beautiful park, called "Friendship Park."

"Friendship Park" has several beautiful plants and fun sculptures of the unique Western and Chinese life going on in the area.
