Wednesday, Jan. 18th,

We toured the City Hall of the Chongquing People. It large round structure signifying the sky. One of our group members band will be performing here in April. Also toured an art gallery & made a nice purchase of a large wter colour on rice paper, mounted on silk, plus Banyan tree leaf painting (unique & elegant).
Very foggy (pea soup), damp day. We also visited Giant Pandas in the Chongquing zoo.
Jill is still adjusting slowly to us, especially mom. It has been very stressful for all of us, but we will ride it out. We believe she is grieving heavily for her foster family. She is very determined, like her big sister!. I will try and post some pic's today, but if it doesn't work, I will update in Beijing. There seems to be server problems here, who knows??
