After the visit, we basically spent the rest of the day packing and traveling. We arrived at the White Swan Hotel in Guangzhou at about 9:30 PM last night. The hotel is amazing. The view is beautiful (right), the pool is beautiful, and the people are very friendly. I was starting to feel very home sick, but when we arrived here and saw all the American families with there children, it made me feel much better. Don't get me wrong, I still want to get home, but this hotel is making things much more tolerable. It has a great breakfast buffet and a really nice playroom for the kids....of course Will is just trying to "climb" everything!
This morning we took Will to have his medical exam and his Visa photo taken. He was not happy about his exam! We did some shopping....much better then the shopping in Xi'an. In the the afternoon I went to fill out paperwork for the U.S. Consulate while Will was napping. When he woke up and saw that I wasn't there, her cried and screamed for a half hour......in between the M&M's Kyle was giving him to get him to stop. By the time I was finished with the paper work, Will was covered in chocolate slobber! After that we did more shopping....did I mention how great the shopping was in Guangzhou? One of the store owners (Jordan) printed Will's name for us in Chinese and told us it meant "Excellent". We had dinner with another couple from Cincinnati...Matt and Tracy....turned out I graduated from Seton with Tracy....small world! They adopted a 3 yr.old boy, so now Will has a new friend!
Tomorrow we're going shopping for Jade and Pearls....gotta love that shopping! I have SO many more photos to share and stories to tell, but there is only so much time in one day. But, below are some miscellaneous photo's for your enjoyment....taken on one of Kyle's exploration walks, of course:)
