Gwen is doing great. She even enjoyed a day at the Sanxingdui Museum today. An interesting archaeological find in the Sichuan province here. Was just discovered in the past century, and some of the artifacts date back to the dawn of civilization. Our big discovery today was that Gwen's and my attention span for museums are about the same length... quite short. She is starting to eat more things, and is communicating with us more and more. Not words, but sounds and expressions. We are amazed at how quick she has been to understand us when we speak to her in english... a very smart little girl.
Sorry for the short blog- we need to pack for our travel day tomorrow. Here are a few pictures from our day.

Gwen and Alia playing pass the bottle at dinner. Funny enough, the bottle was competely empty, but they both wanted it. We decided they probably shared bottles at the orphanage, so how bad could it be for them to share now?! We decided to have "western" style food tonight and went to a place that was highly recommended called Grandma's Kitchen... in Chengdu.
