What a great day! We got the TB tests checked first, which went fine except she started balling again. (I can't wait to take her to the doctor at home...) then we headed off to the Zoo/Safari.
What a place! It was like a Chinese Disney's Animal Kingdom! One thing that was commented on over and over was how close the animals were. Many of the animals were only a few feet away! Another thing was how many of each animal there was. There must have been at least 30 giraffe, a dozen lions, half a dozen hippos, the same for tigers, both Bengal and white. And most of the animals seemed very healthy!
One of the funniest points was when a group of teenage girls spotted Ben, the 7 year old son of another family. His blond hair and blue eyes caught their attention and they wanted pictures with him... All ten of them! Poor thing!
Ginny was great through the whole thing. I kept her in the back pack for most of it, but she always seemed interested and kept craning around me to see things. She fell asleep during the safari part of it, but by that time, it was way past her nap and to be expected.
We went to a "western" restaurant for dinner and Ginny definitely likes steak. She also liked the cheese cake and chocolate desserts we got from a bakery in the hotel. It's so hard to put into words exactly how she is opening up little by little, day by day. It's amazing to watch and fills my heart with joy every time she smiles!
