Cab ride from hell !!!!!!

Words can't describe the cab ride to the restaurant. My knuckles were white. I kept telling Robin "just don't look". We all went to a Muslim restaurant where there specialty is Lamb. Mmmmmmmm . The Muslim cook very spicy, and I mean spicy. They gave us dessert saucers to eat off of and chop sticks to eat with. Yes, that is what I said no silverware. I had Ali on my lap grabbing everything she could so no chop sticks for me. Just fingers. I didn't need to use very many fingers bacause I didn't eat much. They keep bringing dish after dish of food for us to eat. Each one keep getting better. The last dish was lamb soup. It was soup that they cooked the lamb bones in. I hate to say it but, Ali liked it. I must say these Chinese people are so friendly. Even though the food was differnt there was tons of it and it only cost us less then $10 a couple. After the meal we had to climb back in the cab and pray we made it to the Hotel. Today we took Ali across the street to what I would call a court yard. There were hundreds of pigons walking around and people feeding them like we feed ducks. The pigons would fly and land on people's arms and eat out of there hand. Ali had a big time with that. While we were there I looked around at all of the people and told Robin just think Ali'e parents could be one of these people. It really got to me as we walked back to the hotel. I thank God that her parents loved her enough to leave her somewhere where she would be found. Like Robin said tonight, we flew to the other side of China for a reason, and that was to get the little sweetheart that was meant for us.I will try and post in the morning but it is going to be kind of hetic. We fly out at 2:40 but we are leaving at noon and we have our paperwork to get together and getted packed. We have Ali's passport so they are letting us take her out of China.
Good night from our last night In Ali's province.
