DAY TWO
Hi everyone! I had to attach this photo of a pork sandwich we
had for lunch yesterday, it’s pretty funny! Last night we went
to a great Chinese restaurant and sat outside and ate dinner
right on the Pearl River . Every tree was illuminated and there
were lanterns lit in all of the trees. Between the lights of the
city, the river boats and the music, it was awesome! Our
appetizer arrived with Steve’s dinner. We finished eating and
were ready for our bill and them my food came – no rhyme or
reason when it comes to serving food! Everything at night is lit
up in neon, including all the buildings. Some even have laser
shows on them.
This morning we took a tour with Peter our guide. Peter is
great! He has a great personality and sense of humor! We went to
the Guangzhou Liurong Temple, a museum, an ancient park, a
porcelain factory and to a huge shopping district. Yes, we
shopped!! The shopping district was wild!! There were people
everywhere and I am talking thousand’s of people! We came to the
hotel and went to Lucy’s for burgers (Yeah!!). We ordered a
drawing for Jae Lyn with all significant symbols on it such as
lady bugs, bamboo, panda and her name in American and in
Chinese. We made fast friends with a group of girls that work at
A Home of Love shop outside of our hotel – we’ll definitely be
back with the baby. Everyone in the shops remember your name and
the year your baby was born – really nice. Most people are very
friendly and some look confused when they see us.
Tomorrow our flight to Nanchung leaves at 3:30 and we arrive at
CAB at 4:30 to receive our babies. We won’t even have time to
check into the hotel first! The countdown begins!! Next update
will be from Gotcha Day!
We miss you all!
With love, from China
