After our travel odyssey (depart Denver at 6 AM on Tuesday morning, land in Shanghai at 6 PM on Wednesday), we woke up bright and early on Thursday morning ... at 4 AM. Ugh, jet lag is not pretty. Eric and Medora explored the hotel at that early hour and let me feign sleep for another half hour. Then we killed time until the breakfast buffet opened at 6 AM. The words "killing time" and "6 AM" rarely go together in the same sentence for me!
We started our day with a visit to the Shanghai Children's Hospital to see Medora's finding spot. Today is almost 4 years to the day that Medora was left to be found there. It was bittersweet - hard to imagine what her birth parent(s) felt that day leaving her, and so grateful that she's part of our family now.
Our next stop was a geocache. We had picked up a travel bug (a rubber snake) in Colorado whose goal was to get as far away from Pennsylvania as possible. We figured Shanghai fit that description well, so we moved it along.
The other highlight of the day was the indoor pool. We spent nearly 90 minutes there this afternoon. Medora loves the water!
