We left John's province today and are now in the south part of China. We are down to one week before we get to come home. Guangzhou is a great place. There are 15 million people who live here, but it seems more orderly. There are no scooters and cars on sidewalks. It almost seems like they keep pedestrians safe here ... wow!
It is a tropical place with 97% humidity. They said that today was a cool day, but it felt oppressive to us desert dwellers. We are staying at the Marriott and I really like it. There is something nice about staying in a place owned by Americans. It has a familiar feel and it smells good.
John did great on his first plane ride. He hated the seat belts - so it should be interesting when we are back home. We are going to go to church tomorrow but basically just going to take it easy. We have not had one down day since we've been here and our two year old is getting sick of it. It feels like a huge accomplishment to have made it this far on our adoption journey. It is fun to be here though because there are so many groups that have adopted and are finishing the process just like us. They are everywhere. We even met a couple with another two year old thumb sucker like ours.
Here are pictures of John on his first plane ride.
Saying good-bye to Yisha. She was so incredible.
The first plane John has been on.
This is how so many men wear their shirts in China. We wanted John to blend in.
