Going Native

I had to take a few parting pics at breakfast.  We've been trying to eat healthy foods to handle such a long trip.  Only problem is, they're almost always served at breakfast!  So in order to get my veggies in, I have to have my broccoli with my coffee and donut in the morning.

I couldn't resist this pic as I wanted to let you know how different things are.  They're both delicious - but not really culinary partners...

The girls love the breakfast, and have jumped right into noodles, broccoli, and fried rice to go with their fried egg and toast.

The breakfast at the Mayflower is awesome!  We eat like there's no tomorrow (actually, today there's not!)  I felt sorry for Jenny today when two kiddos came in to eat breakfast - about her age - and you could tell that she wanted to talk to them so badly.  It must be so hard to listen to our conversation and not be a part of it.  We try to include her, and my Chinese has gotten pretty conversational - but it has no depth and it's hard to let her know what's happening next, etc.

Here's a pic of the bread bar for future travelers:

It really has been a wonderful stay here.  We'll be out of touch for the next day or so as we make our way North.  Can't wait to get set up in the new place - it's like a military detachment - getting the comm's set up, racks installed, and scouting out the local area for food sources, lol!  We appreciate your prayers and love hearing the comments.  We miss you all so much!!!!!!!

Love, Kim, Rachel, and Jenny
