And a travel "warning/piece of advice" from our in country facilitator:
"Qinghai is one of the most backward provinces of China. It will
not be an easy adoption trip. Many people get sick there from the high
altitude. Please be prepared."
We knew that the altitutde was high - approximately 8000 feet, but looks like we need to talk to our doctor about some medicine to take with us to help with this. Definitely don't want to be sick for the days we are there.
