Guangzhou Arrival



















We left our temporary home in the Huatian Hotel in Chengsha today.
Mary took her first plane ride - it was just an hour, but she did OK. She's definitely still got a cold and is teething, but dropped a bomb on her own this afternoon - finally.
When we arrived in Guangzhou, we met our new guide, Elvin. We should have a good time with him. We also met back up with some other CWA families and will be able to hang out with them for a few days. The babies all got new passport/visa photos and were given the most basic of physical examinations.
Anyway, we're beat, so I'm keeping this short.
Today's pictures:
The exterior of our hotel in Chengsha. I was waiting for a nice day to take one, but it never happened.
The exterior of the restaurant where we ate several excellent meals. It the former office of Civil Affairs.
The interior of the restaurant in our hotel where we ate many meals.
At the airport, saying goodbye to our guide, Ashley.

Isn't the White Swan awesome? This week will go very fast for you, don't forget to get Mary some squeaky shoes: -) I hope she feels better, the teething is no fun! Tell Elvin the Anderson's say hello! He is a hoot, you guys will have fun with him! Have a great time in Guangzhou!!

Yet again, wonderful pics. Just thought I'd share that I called Caden over to my computer just now and he said (excitedly, I might add) "oh, more pictures of Mary??" I clicked on one to make it larger and he said "ew, snot." When I clicked on the second one, he said "ew, more snot." Ha! Maybe you had to be here, but I enjoyed it :o)

Love you - Kat
