When we stay in a hotel, Evan and I usually get up before Mike and go out to find breakfast. This time we went downstairs to a little bakery. Evan didn't think she wanted a muffin (although she ended up eating most of my carrot-raisin muffin), but she really wanted a rice krispie treat. I decided that is you eat rice krispies for breakfast, why not a rice krispie treat? YUM, the breakfast of champions! We met back up with Mike and looked around the little Chinese market they set up while we waited for the craft session to start. Evan and Mike made a cool lantern and a few other things. Most of the crafts were too hard for her, but we brought them home with good intentions to finish them some day. We attended a session where a 15 year old Chinese girl told what life is like in China. She was adopted at an early age, but she and her mother lived in China for many years. Evan was a little too young to be interested, but we all sat through it anyway. OCDF is a foundation that helps families, schools, or whomever educate themselves in all things Chinese. They even have language systems to learn Mandarin and other Chinese dialects. They also conduct tours to many areas of China, each with a different focus. We've decided that we want to take Evan back to China and see her 'hometown' when she is 7. I can hardly wait!
