Guangzhou


Well Guangzhou is very different that Guiyang. Its the 6th largest city in China, about 10 million people is what our guide said. We're staying at the White Swan Hotel which is very western, so much easier to navigate the surroundings. It actually feels like a vacation now. We;ve got a nice room, with a cool view of the Pearl River, the hotel is very large with a pool that Bayard loves to swim in. There are lots of western families with newly adopted babies so its kind of surreal....strange juxtaposition of western onto Chinese.

We've got to do a few more things with the US government leading up to our immigration finalization for Ameila at the consulate on Wed. Then we fly home on Thursday.

Things are getting better with Amelia. She really likes to be outside, go out to eat, be out where people are. She and Tracey are getting closer, but she still prefers me if we're both there. We're still working at it though and they;re having more and more happy times.

Ok this was just a quick post from the coffee shop, we'll write more tonight....

Hey you guys!! Congratulations! You all are too too adorable! I can't believe how strange it must be in China, albeit interesting! Sounds like you are all having the most amazing experience. Please have fun and stay safe--all my best thoughts are with you! (How exciting for me; I've never been or seen a blog before--hee hee!) Love you! Sally
