4 more nights

Today was pretty low key. Our big event for the day was getting Katie's Tb test checked - it was fine. We were supposed to meet our guide at 1:45 to walk over to the clinic, but she did not show up. She had been at the U.S. Consulate and got stuck in traffic. She returned around 3:30 and we went then. We had a great dinner at a local Cantonese restaurant and took a walk in the riverside park next to the hotel to watch the nightly light show over the river. We actually have a great view from our hotel room, but it was fun to watch from outside as well. Katie had a great time. We danced to the music that was playing. She gave me several hugs which I didn't have to ask for (but certainly didn't mind) and even asked me to pick her up (by raising her arms to me and saying, "Mama"). This is not so rare in private, but unheard of in public. We saw the family with the little girl who tested positive for tb at the park. She has to have 3 clear chest x-rays before she can leave. She had one clear one today. Hopefully, the next two will be clear as well.

Only 4 more nights. I will be so happy to be home, but I am truly glad that we have had this experience.
