McDonalds, Tours and Shopping

Well, today started out a little rough. Longji woke up with a big smile as he has been all week and then John asked him to help make the bed and put his pj's away and he sat on the floor and did nothing. We figured reality was setting in and he was upset, but as it turned out he just had an upset stomach. He ended up throwing up on the hotel carpet. Needless to say, we did not really enjoy the breakfast buffet this morning. We gave him a Tylenol and let him lie down for a while before heading out. He seemed better by 10:00am so we decided to attempt the activities of the day. We visited the Nanyue Tomb and he was absolutely fascinated. He held on to our guide's hand the entire time and asked a billion questions which is great. However, he did stop between questions to throw up again in the middle of the exhibit. We asked him if he wanted to stop and head back to the hotel, but he wanted to get to the actual tomb. What a trooper...he later told Kelly he wanted to be an emperor. Well, he is ours. After the tour we decided to stop at the fabric market so I could actually do a little shopping. Longji and Ba Ba sat patiently and let me pick out some scarves to take home. Back in the van we asked him if he would like McDonalds and he told Kelly he had only seen commercials on television and had never been. John and I teared up at that point...so of course we went to McDonalds for lunch. He ate a little, but really was not up for eating too much. I was so upset because they only had girl toys for the happy meal so his first trip ever and he gets a little pink cosmetic bag! We then took a stroll through one of the oldest markets and headed back to the hotel. Ba Ba built a lego plane for Longji and he picked one out at one of the local shops. So he played around in the hotel room with both planes. He was feeling much better at this point. Good enough to eat some noodles for dinner. Bath time is always an experience. I put extra bubbles in the tub tonight and he absolutely loved it! Tomorrow we have a busy day planned and I am hoping we can get to the pool soon when he is back to 100%. We will see about heading back to the clinic for his TB test reading. Last night we headed that way to eat at a Thai restaurant and he stopped us in the street to tell us he did not want anymore shots. Oh, he is a smart young man. Again, I am hoping my pictures are coming through. We are having technical difficulties on this side of the world and it is frustrating! Good night to all!
