We arrived in Xi'an at 2:50 pm yesterday. We were picked up by Jenny our guide for our trip while we are here. She knows good english. The ride was about an hour to Xi'an from the arirport. The airport is in the countryside. There are 8 million people here (and I thought this was going to be a small town!) As we traveled many narrow streets it was so surreal again to think we are here. What I saw on our way here was more of what I thought China looked like--small streets, small vendors along the streets, like alleys.
We did not get a chance to do much this evening--we will send more photos later. Today we meet Caleb! We meet him at 4:00pm. We will meet with Jenny at 2:00pm to exchange our US dollars and then at 3:45pm we will head to the "office" where they will make sure we are the right parents and he is the right child.
I will post more later. Pray for us as we meet Caleb.
Love,
Shelly
