160 beats/minute

We went back to the doc today for another checkup before we leave. The appointment went well. L. and the baby are on track. We heard the heartbeat today! Wow! 160 beats per minute, which Dr. P. said was normal.

We then went to the Brazilian BBQ for lunch. The TV's were tuned into NBA finals game 5. Spurs won a close one! Woohoo! L. and I were yelping and hi-fiving the whole time, which turned a few heads and made the waitstaff smile. No one else seemed interested in the game except us.

On the way home, we dropped some money off for a beggar whose face was nearly burned away. We've seen him several times and have given him money each time. He would blow into a harmonica, trying to play it, as a way to get people to give to him. There are a lot of disfigured beggars in GZ, but this poor chap is by far the one I have had the most sympathy for.

The rest of the evening was spent correcting tests...L. needed a lot of help since she had so many to do...
