Hello Mrs. Anderson's class and others!
I went to the Summer Palace where we rented a boat and I was captain. I also got an ice cream bar and mama did, too! The Summer Palace was an emperor and empress's place. The boats were motorized, paddle boats and silly rowboats. I got a motorboat. Cixi (Suh- SHEE) had money for the Chinese Navy, but she spent it on herself. She bought a marble boat. Cixi was a fine empress but a little selfish.
Today we are going to the Great Wall of China with some other families from our adoption agency. We got two days in Beijing but they will get only one.
Tomorrow I meet my baby sister, Maryn!!!!!

It sounds like you're having an amazing adventure, Carlyn Darlyn! And, I have to say, your new glasses are quite becoming--you look very adorable.
Well, if your timeline goes as planned, you'll be with Maryn in less than two hours (it is 11:40 pm in Montana right now), and I can imagine that you're full of excitement...we're all so excited to hear about your meeting and, of course, to see photos of our new cousin. I hope it goes smoothly and I know you'll be a great big sister, so Maryn is lucky to have you. But, if you ever need any big sister advice, you know who to ask (yes, that would be me)!
Give your mom and dad an extra hug from me and have the best of times with your new mei mei. Love you, cousin!
Meg
