Tenwang Pavilion and of course Norah :)

Yesterday we went to the Tenweng Pavilion and it was awesome! It was such a beautiful structure and the view was just breathtaking! We were able to see a live show of singers and dancers and of course that was amazing! After visiting the pavilion we went to lunch (awesome) and then some of us went and had a foot massage. We were all placed in a large room with reclining chairs. They did a one hour massage on our feet and legs and backs. It cost 40 RMB which is about 5 US dollars. It was pretty great... very relaxing! We stopped by a local bakery by our hotel and got a few things for dinner. That too was wonderful! Can you tell we are enjoying our time here??? Shannon stayed home with Norah during the fantastic foot rub so I brought them dinner back from the bakery. Norah sat on the floor and housed a good majority of what I brought back. Enjoy!

I think understanding the past is vitally important to success in the future. The time you are spending seeing Norah's home, the part of the country where she was born, how the people lived, and what they did to survive will be very beneficial in the future.
Norah is so cute. She also must be very courageous and have a strong character. Through it all she still loves, plays, smiles. Penny you have two miracle children.
It was great to talk with Shannon the other night.
We look forward to reading your blog everyday. Its like a super duper happy soap opera, different stories everyday, something new everyday, what is going to happen today?, You know what I mean.

Penny, I am so glad that everything is going well. Norah is adorable. I think Gabe may need a little Chinese girlfriend. What do you think? We love you. Give Norah lots of kisses from all of us.
Love, Kerri, Joey, and Gabe
