Today, we did more exploring around the island, stopping in little shops, etc. Pretty much just leisurely pissed the day away. We found a new "best friend" in one of the shops (off the beaten path) who has been very good to us. The first night here, we bought Emmaline a few traditional Chinese outfits and "squeaky shoes." We took another family from our group and that put in gold with the store clerk. She has been giving us things for free and everything else "best friends price." We've been there about six times and even took a third family there. She loves us. In the afternoon, we went to a Buddist Temple. We debated all day whether to go or not as neither of us were very much interested in it, but we ended up going with the flow. We should have listened to our inner voice. There was not much to see and we were both bored. Plus, everyone in our group wanted the Buddist priest to bless their children. We were uncomfortable with this, so we returned to the bus and waited there. There were all kinds of limbless and disabled people outside near our bus. It was just a bad experience, to say the least.
The good new......Emmaline loves Rocky Road!!!!
About Us
Hello! We are Bob and Trish Akers from Indiana. We are in the process of adopting a daughter, Emmaline Catherine, from China. We have a log in date of December 8, 2005, and are hoping to get our "referral" in November 2007. It's been a long journey, but we are so excited to be this close! ****************************************************************** Update: We have obviously adopted our daughter, so this is now the Akers Family website. We will periodically be posting pictures of our family and newest adventures.
