I have a plane to catch

We arrived in Guangzhou at about 3:00 this afternoon. It was a short flight, just about an hour and a half. Nina did pretty well, considering she had to stay in one place for 2 hours! We were hoping she would sleep, but no such luck.

We are staying at the Garden Hotel and have a suite. It is very nice and there are a lot of other Americans here with adopted children. The rest of our group is here but we have not seen many of them yet. We will meet up tomorrow for a visit to Shaimen Island and shopping (yeah!). We arrived at the hotel and had to go to the supermarket right away to get diapers and some other things. It was in a 7 story mall with many other departments and was quite confusing. There is a lot of shopping here and many restaurants inside and outside the hotel. It seems as though this area is more prosperous than Chongqing. Seems hard to believe we will be in China for only a few more days.

TJN,

Love the pictures, especially with the sunglasses, and hearing about her first plane ride. The cities in the pictures look much more modern than I had imagined. It has changed my view of China.

Love, Dad
