There's no place like Guangzhou.

We made it to Guangzhou late last night. Link did good with the plane ride, we were just so so tired by the time we got here. We had to check out of our hotel at 2, so we had to hang around awhile at the airport. Then there was a problem with our ticket. Luckily our guide took care of that, although it took quite some time.
This morning we went for breakfast, and then took Link to his medical exam, and to get his TB test. He did really well for that too. He did cry a bit, but quickly stopped when he was offered candy.
After that we had lunch at subway and walked around the island a little while. We went to see our old friend Jordan, and he wrote Links name in calligraphy, just as he did Lillys two years ago. We talked to him about how his business has slowed, and how popular he is with adoptive families.
It's so nice to be on the island. So many American families that look like ours, and so many people to speak English with, AND a Starbucks too! It makes this last week doable.
Tomorrow we leave at 10:00 am for a shopping trip. We are walking into the city. So that should be fun. We were scheduled to go to the zoo tomorrow, but we decided to go Monday instead so it will be less crowded.
That's all for now!
