Consulate Appt. Day

We were up and at 'em early this morning to load our bus by 7:45 to be at the Consulate for our 8:30 appointment. We were in and out much faster than the last time we were here ... back in the bus by 9:00am! We had to swing by another hotel to pick up two other families from our agency as they had to head to back to the medical clinic for a quick check with their kids. Then we went to the Pedestrian Street for some shopping and sightseeing ....  by this time it was noon and we were all beat, so we ended our visit pretty quickly.

Tonight will be our last night in Guangzhou. Tomorrow we check out at 2:00pm and then pick up Isaiah's visa before heading to the train station. We will take the 5pm train to Hong Kong and arrive in Hong Kong around 7pm. Our hotel in Hong Kong is connected to the airport which will make our 11am flight on Wednesday easy to catch. So, we'll leave here on Wed and return home Wed night, since we're going "back in time".

First "happy bath" - we tried a few days ago and it wasn't good!

At the US Consulate

Our guide, Elvin - he's a riot!

Nap time!

I love to hear all the things that are happening on your China journey! Isaiah is such a cutie, especially with those sunglasses on a few days ago. Praying for safe travels and continued bonding!
