Busy day2

>
This text didn't come up with the pictures, let's try this again.
> We had an amazingly busy day. By 9:30 we were in the lobby to go to our visa picture appointment. We got the girls pictures taken and then we were off to the medical clinic to have the girls looked at. We visited the ENT area, the weight and height area and the general dr that looked at them for 2 minutes. It probably took us 45 min to complete. Lots of standing in line.
> Did a little shopping on shamian island and we got back to the hotel and had to do 2 hours of paperwork as a group.
> We had dinner with another family traveling with us at Lie gardens Cantonese restaurant. Yummy!
> Our hotel is beautiful and I can't say enough at how happy we are at staying here. I an going to explore the hotel tomorrow, haven't been able to see much, what I can tell you is we eat breakfast by a 40 ft waterfall and a beautiful garden. Amazing.
> Pics: There is a picture of P standing in the lobby in front of an enormous gold and black relief painting. Nate is with his new friend Jacob, another boy traveling in our group. The girls in their new snow suits in Nanchang.
> Off to another day of sightseeing, temps are so much nicer here too, probably in 50s with a cool breeze.
> Love to all

Glad you're enjoying Guangzhou. I think there's an automatic relaxation when you get there after the long process that goes before.

Karen hi!! I am just now catching up on all of your blogs and LOVING reading about your travels, the girls and well, just the whole adventure! And BOY does it sound like you guys have been SUPER busy! When on earth do you sleep? Do the girls wake up in the middle of the night? Hopefully you are able to catch some shut eye here and there :-)

I absolutely LOVE their precious little faces :-) My favorite is probably one of the earlier pictures of you sitting on the couch holding your girls :-) You'll have to try and find a pretty landmark and then have Paul take a picture of you with your 3 beautiful children!

I'm so glad you guys are having fun and seeing all of the amazing sights. And I laughed when I read that you all are a spectacle and that crowds gather around you! That must be something! :-) Hee-hee :-)

Sending my love and lots of hugs to you all. Bob and I will be praying for you often!

Sincerely,

Erica
