Our last full day in Chongqing!

Well... we are ready to move on to the next leg of our trip!!! Tomorrow afternoon we leave for Guangzhou - hurray!! We should get Hayleigh's passport tomorrow morning and then we are off...

Today, Hayleigh has had 3 bottles so far - keep praying for her that she gets her appetite back. We are hoping that she's back to normal - it is not unusual for the girls to not want to eat b/c of the change in their environment. We are hoping that that's all it is and not anything else - but who knows - so please pray that she eats well :)

This morning we went to a Silk "store". They showed us how they raise silk worms and then get the silk from the cocoons - it was very interesting. They have to soak the cocoons in hot water and then they split them open to get the worms out (they keep the worms to produce more). Then they stretch it over a small metal upside down U frame and then onto a bigger one. Once there are 70 layers they hang them to dry. Then they make a few cuts and stretch it out to the size of a blanket that they are wanting to make. I have some pictures on flickr about this too. We didn't buy much here - just an ornament for our Christmas tree:)

Then we went to the Ancient Town of Ciqikou. We were thinking that it would be a real town but really it was an alley with shops. We bought Hayleigh a wooden carved comb, Brayden a wooden sword and Taylor nun-chukas. Then we were back to the hotel for a relaxing afternoon...

We probably won't have a chance to post tomorrow - so we will be back to the web on Sat:)

God Bless!!
