We are in Nanchang

We left Beijing this morning around 11:00am, and had about a 2 hour flight. We are now in Nanchang. I guess what we would call the State where Lily lives. This is mainly farm land on the outskirts of town. The people work in rice fields in the summer and grow some fruit in the spring and fall. The difference in Nanchang and Beijing is huge. I thought that the driving in Beijing was bad and then we had to ride here. It's rough on the streets. They are so populated that it's dog eat dog. A 2 lane road with lines turns into 4 with the crazy driving. It's very stressful to walk and drive. You just might get hit by a bike rider if your don't watch out where you are walking. The Chinese people don't believe in lines for the bathroom, luggage, or anything for that matter, they just shove and push to get where they want to go. You must stand in front of the door of the stall that you are going to use. We have found that there is no road rage here. People just honk and push and no one gets upset. It's very different than what we are used to, but I we are adjusting. Lily will be leaving her home tomorrow morning around 6:30 or 7:00am. She will arrive at our hotel around 11:30am. It's a 4 hour train ride for her to come here. She will be so stressed. Leaving her surrounding with a complete stranger and then to us. I've been told that we won't meet her foster mother because of the emotions that she will have. She may associate us with her loss. I have been very emotional today knowing what she is about to go through. It going to be so scary. Our new representative told us that the ride to go back to her home province is very long. Four hours there and four hours back. The other couple we are with has decided that they aren't going to go. I'm still undecided on what to do. I want pictures of her home town and the hospital she was abandoned in front of, but I'm wondering if she will be up for the trip. We are going to try to make her as comfortable as possible so why would I do that to her plus the long trip back to the states. I guess we will decide after we see how she does. So I took some pictures of the hotel, they have prepared our room for Lily. It's hard to look at the crib now empty, but after today it will have her in it. I can't believe it's so close. We are very excited for her to come but sad that she has to leave everything she has known and loved. I can't really explain how I feel so I will leave it at that. By the time we get home I hope she loves us. It helps that Candy and Kevin are here with us. I look into her eyes and see the same feelings that I'm having. I hope to be able to post tomorrow or at least put up some photo's. We are finally going to meet our baby girl. Please keep Lily in your prayers. Love you all for all of your support. The comments are so refreshing. It's like God is speaking to us through your words, telling me everything is going to be okay.
