We had a wonderful breakfast and then went to Shamien Island for their medicals. I had heard about it and pictures of it in all of the blogs. It really is like a cattle call. I dreaded the tb test, but Zhao Lei was great about all of it. It helped that there were older kids in our group for her to be with, Kyle and Sophia. We also had the visa pictures taken and then were free to do whatever we wanted. Several of us went exploring on the island. We went to Jordan's, of course, and to several other shops. Zhao Lei had been asking to go swimming since the night before and asked all morning. She had even asked the doctor at the medical office teach her to say "Swimming in the afternoon?" After we had lunch at Lucy's and then let the kids play in a park right behind it, we were ready to go. We went to the pool for a little while, but the water was a little cold. Zhao Lei and I went to the women's area and sat in the hot tub for a while, which was great. We went and hung out in the room for a little while then went back to the island to get Ray's laundry that he had dropped off earlier. By the time we got to the island, the laundry place was closed. We did manage to buy Zhao Lei a pair of shoes she liked and then we had dinner at Lucy's. We wanted to go to two other places, but the lines were a little long and we were hungry. Zhao Lei was not in a very good mood since she had wanted to stay in the hotel room. She perked up after we ate and was in a good mood again. It is really hard when she is quiet. We don't know what to do to make her feel better, so I feel awful and helpless. We went back to the hotel and she played with a couple of toys we had bought today and then it was bedtime.
