New photo gallery-slide show: Wednesday in Zhengzhou

** Adoption countdown: 8 days until Pam, Terry and Matthew return home **

By TERRY R. CASSREINO

ZHENGZHOU, China (Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2008, 5:05 p.m.) – After a hectic, emotionally-draining day on Tuesday when we got our son, today was a slower-paced and more relaxing.

A trip to the Civil Affairs office to complete and the adoption. A trip to the notary public for official documents. A trip to pick up Matthew’s Chinese passport. A trip to Wal-Mart.

Whoa! Wait a minute! Wal-Mart? Again? Say it ain’t so. Well, actually, it wasn’t Wal-Mart. It was Lotus SuperCenter, a Thailand-based retail store that seemed larger than Wal-Mart in Beijing.

I’m sorry. Pam and I can’t help it. It’s a sickness. Maybe we need to get some help. Is there a support group for folks who go to large discount shopping stores outside of the country?

Oh well, too late. At the bottom of this post, you’ll find our latest photo gallery and slideshow from today, Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2008. You can click the photo slideshow to enlarge the picture.

AND DON’T FORGET: Time is running out to help choose the exotic food Pam will eat before we leave China.

Thanks for joining us on this unforgettable trip. We hope you will continue to follow us along – we still have a lot to do before we head home Thursday, Dec. 18.
