Dinner choices

Okay, so we've already posted today but we had to get
this in there. Finding something to eat in Yunnan, or
more correctly, where we are in Yunnan (affectionately
known as "East LA") has been a challange to say the
least. It has been several years since there have
been children referred to GWCA from Yunnan, so they
might be behind the times on where to stay. The
breakfast buffet included with the hotel stay is nice
- it has bacon. That is really all one needs - bacon.
There is also a very sweet lady who will fry you and
egg. Other than that it is alot of stuff we cannot
make heads or tails of - really.

Tonite was our last night in Yunnan and although we
would have liked to had a nice meal at the Chinese
restaurant next door, which was unbelievably good and
cheap, Zach was having a really tough day. His fever
reached 102.5 this afternoon and he has been pretty
miserable, which is to say we have all been miserable.
Also, since we have only just met it is hard to
decide what exactly is wrong with the poor little guy.
We decided to brave the dinner buffet at the
'revolving' restaurant in the hotel. Revolving is
relative because it doesn't usually go all the way
around. Weird.

Anyway, the buffet consisted of some strange stuff as
Quintin remarked - "It was difficult to decide between
the jellyfish and the elbow." Grampa Mickey wanted to
know what kind of elbow, but I didn't think that was
really relevant. I'm sure most of you will be
surprised to hear that the most adventurous member of
Team Zachary was Grampa Mickey who tried the
jellyfish. There was something called 'steak' (it's
cow, it's cow, it's cow) that was alright. Best of
all there were chicken nuggets. My darling RJ ate at
least 7 and put himself in a chicken nugget coma. He
napped very little today and was falling asleep with a
chicken nugget in each hand, chewing with his eyes
closed, and enjoying every mintue. He has been asleep
every since.

Zach is doing much better I am happy to say. He
actually ate some dinner (yea!), and a member of our
group whose daughter is from the same orphanage
brought her stethescope (she's a nurse) and listened
to his lungs and heart which sounded fine. We are
still planning to see the doctor tomorrow in Guangzhou
as a precaution.

One week down, one to go. Love to you all!

Q, M, RJ, Zach and Grampa Mickey
