Urumqi

We are here in our hotel in Urumqi... 4 hour to get here. It was fine, nothing compared to flying to China!! Jessie has been telling us all about Xinjiang, the local customs and different ways of doing things here. She also has talked to the director of Sha Mei's orphanage and she said that Sha Mei was very healthy. She said when she was small she acted like a special needs child, but is now caught up with all of the kids her age. She also said that she loves "beauty" Which Jessie seemed to think meant she likes "girly" stuff. I agree and told Jessie that Sha Mei always has on bracelets and hair clips and fingernail polish in the pictures we have gotten in the past. We are heading out in a few minutes to go to the market for bottled water, and then get all of our paperwork ready for tomorrow morning. I'll post more later!! Love to all!!
