One Day Closer to Home!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Dear Readers,

Todya is a bit of a recovery day for us, thank goodness. Our schedule is delightfully light. Our long awaited Consulate Appointment is really only and appointment for our paperwork. We just sit in the room and wait for a phone call. Then an optional trip to the Pearl and DVD market. Now that's a trip that all genders can get on board for.

Yesterday was a full, but long day. As mentioned, Joy is displaying more of her strong willed personality and fussiness in the last few days, but she gets and "A plus" for her demeanor yesterday. Here she is pictures at her physical. Just so you know, she does NOT like to get on a scale.
We also vistited the famous, 5th century Temple of the Six Banyon Trees. As an update, Temple still there, trees gone.
While we were there, the babies and families were all blessed by one of the monks. Joy liked the chanting!






We also visited a cool Guangzhou museum. It used to be a families temple, and they donated it to the Govt. shorty after the Communist Revolution. They had some spectacular tapestries, which, of course, we were not aloud to photograph.


How did we get from Chongqing to Guanzhou with a bunch of babies? Well, it was simple. We got on a bus, then got on a flying bus. Which was very exciting for everyone.





Well, almost everyone.





Then, of course, like all seasoned travelers,

we got on another bus and had a fruit roll up







and then checked into our new hotel, the famous White Swan.

It is Tuesday here in China, and we will be leaving this magnificent country to return to our own on Thursday. We can't wait!!!!
