| Photo Shoot - Before we got the cookies |
Today was a fun day.
We went this morning to the pearl market, an amazing 6-floor building
full of booth after booth of pearls and other jewels. Fun shopping experience.
This afternoon, we did a bit more souvenir shopping near our
hotel. Thaddeus wanted a chess set and
drove a very hard bargain. He ended up
paying only half of the asking price. I
was impressed.
This evening we went for a dragon boat ride on the Pearl
River. It was beautiful with all of the buildings
lit up and live Chinese music being played on the open air deck.

Susan is definitely feeling a lot better and is acting a lot
more like a normal toddler. Lots of cute
curious behavior, into anything and everything, and throwing little fits when
she doesn’t get what she wants. We had
the best sleep last night. Susan only
whimpered once for a couple of minutes in the middle of the night.
I need to mention our adoption agency, CCAI. They are really amazing. For the past almost
two years they’ve been wonderful, always cheerfully answering emails and phone
calls within 24 hours, walking us through every step of the way through the
paperwork. But what they do for us in
China is awesome. They arrange all of the details of all our comings and goings (official and tourist stuff). They have representatives at each destination
that stay with us, take care of our needs, and make sure we are organized for
all the official activities.
