Hello everyone! Today was our last full day in Guangzhou. This morning we went to Shamian Island for some last minute shopping and came back for our Consulate appointment. This should be the last step and then we come home! After the appointment, we stopped at the Garden Hotel which has the largest lobby in all of China. Then we took a cruise on the Pearl River. Unfortunately due to technical difficulties I was not able to post the cruise pictures tonight but I will try tomorrow. We cruised on the Pearl River- the third longest river in China after the Yangtze and the Yellow Rivers. We had dinner on the cruise and there was even a performance. Caroline is doing so well. She is just blossoming right before our eyes.

Tomorrow is our last morning in Guangzhou as we will take a train to Hong Kong later in the day before flying home. We are all very happy to be going home but it is hard to leave our trip behind. I will try to post the cruise pictures tomorrow, but if not this might be our last update from China. If so, we would like to thank you for following our journey. Your messages on our guestbook page have meant a great deal to us and we want to thank you for your kind and supportive words.

Goodnight from Guangzhou!
