Last day in Chongqing

Sophie eating lunch with Brad - notice the death grip on the cookie in her hand!

We walked to the restaurant this evening - this is a house on the cliff by the river.

Sophie walking off the huge dinner she ate tonight!

This is the view from the restaurant - the river is a tributary of the Yangtze.

Here we all are after eating a very spicy dinner - the girls are all very tired and ready for bed.

Today was our last day in Chongqing.  We had breakfast at the hotel (as usual) and then did a little packing while Sophie had her morning nap.  After lunch we went for a walk around the city with Brent, Charlene and Jada.  The girls love to be out walking!  They were both in their carriers swinging their legs and talking up a storm - Sophie just a little quieter than Jada!!!  We had paper work to complete for the Canadian Embassy. While I did that Sophie and Brad played with all of her toys and walked around the coffee table over and over again.  We all walked to a 'very famous' restaurant by the river for dinner.  It was traditional Chongqing dining with all of the dishes being somewhere between hot and amazingly hot!  We had a couple of dishes for the girls that were a lot less spicy - I ate those!  Sophie ate her biggest meal yet.  She was even too full for her bottle before bed.  We are headed for Beijing tomorrow morning.  All of us are wondering how the flight will go - I'll let you know tomorrow night!

Love to all,

Brad, Alison & Sophie xxxxxooooo
