3rd day in China
Today is Autumn Day here it’s like a big holiday were family get together and celebrate and eat…Kind of like Thanksgiving at home…so our translators got together and prepared us some Chinese cuisine…we had garlic chutes with scrambled eggs, clams, some types of fish(with the head and eyes on and everything!), fried eggs, sunflower seeds, dumplings, cherry tomatoes, moon pies(some type of Chinese dessert with different fillings like pineapple, or sweet pea, or red bean) moons pies are special around this time because it means reunion…we had different fruit like watermelon, bananas, grapes(I took some pics)…me and mom taste some of the things (quite different from home) We were able to meet other families from the US there are about 9 or so other familes here some with the same condition as Trinity and some with other things..they all have seen some type of positive results with increase in vision or gaining light perception etc. Everyone is very nice in telling us were to eat, shop, and sight see! Me, mom, and Trinity went to the outlet across the street today, we didn’t realize how big the outlet was…it takes up about 4 blocks or more it’s 4 stories tall…it has an amusement park inside with roller coaster (that goes through the whole mall), water ride, two story horse carousel, etc. The little boutiques are nice nothing like what we have at home though. Our sleep patterns are still so off we went to sleep at about 4:30 pm…well we said were going down for a nap since it was soooo early but we didn’t get up until 2:25am our body is so confused we are up now eating breakfast like it’s 8:00am….here is the link to see some pics
