I really shouldn't be posting this in a blog called "heatindex" because today was COLD! We were shivering all day wandering around the city. Still no luggage, but we got a call that they located it and it should be here by noon tomorrow. Unfortunately, we are leaving to go to the Giving + Receiving ceremony (where they GIVE US A BABY TO TAKE CARE OF FOREVER ZOMG!!!) at 9:45. So poor EMLW will get to meet her new parents all decked out in 3 day old outfits, and without the presents we have packed in our bags for the orphanage staff. So, expect more cute baby pics tomorrow (or maybe the next day... we might be overwhelmed).
Today we walked to the Temple of Literature (a Confucian temple where scholars used to study that's now a tourist attraction and a place where people come to pray to their ancestors and Confucius). I lit some incense and asked Confucius (sp) to see what he could do about making EMLW happy and wise.
We wandered around and had coffee by the lake, and saw some random Hanoi street scenes. Like this guy.
I'm so excited!

Looks like it's shaping up to be a good leg harvest this year!
Which turns out to be very auspicious for a ceremony! I can't wait to hear all about it, Congratulations!!!
