Day 6: Notary and Walmart trip

Leah is doing fine, and finally had a poopy diaper.  Most of the babies in our group haven't had one as of last night.  Hopefully, we are on a road to further improve on Leah's comfort level.
 
The temperature is so hot here.  The tar sealer is all melted during the day time, so the locals put newspapers on the street so your shoes don't stick to it.  it was 101 here yesterday, and tomorrows forecast is calling for 106, and no its not a dry heat. LOL
 
We went to the local province notary office to complete our paperwork and fee's.  Now we just wait for her Chinese passport.
 
Yesterday, we also went to a Walmart store.  Yes, many locals looked, pointed and smiled with all of group cruising the store.  We loaded up on diapers and Chinese formula, as its alittle sweeter, so this will help keep Leah drinking more.  The best snack we came across was the coffee flavored Chips Ahoy cookies.  I''m not a coffee drinker, but boy did those taste good.  I had to pass on the orange and lime flavored ones.
 
FYI:  I can't post many photos at this point since the direct access to Blogger has been closed by the Chinese government.  Also, Facebook is blocked also.
 
I will hopefully make another post later today.  Today we are touring the Teng Wang Pavilion.
