Ellie and Family


Before going to Wuhan and meeting Ellie, we spent a couple of days in Beijing, visiting the Great Wall and other sites. We did climb to that tower at the top of this hill.


At the Civil Affairs Bureau in Wuhan. At first, Ellie wasn't convinced that the adoption was such a great idea.


Eventually, she warmed to the idea.


Buffet breakfasts were a great chance to learn what Ellie likes to eat. Noodles are a favorite.


Ringing the gong for good luck at the Yellow Crane Tower.


At Chairman Mao's villa, near East Lake, in Wuhan.


At the waterfall in the White Swan Hotel, Guangzhou.

Getting ready to go home, in carryon.


In the Tokyo airport, on the way home.


Home at last, sleeping off jet lag.


At home, with a new toy.


With enough jet lag, you can sleep anywhere.
