We're in CHINA!!!!

Hi from Chongqing:

getting very excited, as we will be getting our little girl tomorrow.
Our hotel is very nice. We walked in and there was a wedding going on
in the lobby. They all stopped and stared at us, especially Mana with
her amazing red hair. She took a picture with the bride and groom and
they were psyched.
I bought Mana a calligraphy set with a "chop" which is a stone stamp
with a person's name on it. Mana told her to make it Luli and she
wrote out the chinese characters for Lu and Li and said that was a very
nice name. So I'm feeling very good about her name. She said it means
pretty and she pronounced it with the accent on the second syllable.
very cute.
Mana also took a picture with two little girls in the lobby, part of
the wedding party, and also with an old woman in Tiannanmen Sqare.
Everybody stands around and giggles at Mana, she's like a superstar.
People take cellphone pictures of her ALL THE TIME.

China is so cool. It's a totally different world. Everyone is very
polite and helpful. We can't wait to meet our Luli.

At the wedding the groom was handing out cigarettes and the bride was
lighting them. Old chinese custom.
