Goodbye Guangzhou, Hello Hong Kong

Today was our last day in Guangzhou. We waited all day to get Sarah's US visa. It came by 4:30 and we left by 5:00. This morning we walked all over the largest park in Guangzhou. Walking through these local parks is such a great way to see life in China. There were tons of people singing (we won't be buying any Chinese music anytime soon), many people were out exercising and dancing, and it was so hot and humid we were literally dripping - delightful!

We had another afternoon of swimming, said goodbye to the other families who we have grown to love and took a three hour drive to Hong Kong. Sarah cuddled up next to me almost the whole trip. This little girl really knows how to win friends and influence people :).  We thought we would have a lot of energy to go sight seeing, but we got to the hotel room and just wanted to crash. 

This has been a great adoption trip and it has gone by quickly. However, we are SO ready to go home. Tomorrow we are doing whatever Brig wants to end the trip on a fun and positive note.
