Tonight we went on the Pearl River Dinner Cruise. Emma took us to the dock and made sure we had our tickets and were safely on board. She is so sweet! We had great seats right at the front of the boat. Dinner was... interesting. (We took some good advice and ate before we went!) The small signs in the pictures are the soup selections, and next to the watermelon on my plate is a chicken foot. Yum - my favorite.
After we ate (a little), we went up to the top deck to see the city of Guangzhou all lit up at night. It was very nice and relaxing! After the cruise we successfully flagged down a taxi and piled 4 adults, 2 kids, and 2 strollers in. Jay sat up front and somehow managed to answer the taxi driver's questions which were all being asked in Chinese while the rest of us just cracked up laughing in the back. Luckily, Emma had written out "Please take us to the Shamian Island Victory Hotel" in Chinese on an envelope for us to hand to the driver. She is so good to us!
Tomorrow is our consulate appointment, and the swearing in ceremony is the day after that. Then on Friday, we get Ava's visa and head home. We miss our kids so much and will be happy to come home, but we are also sad about leaving China. This trip has been so special!
I found your blog from the RQ forum, and I've really enjoyed looking at your photos! What a little sweetie you have. We're also going to be traveling to Hunan, so it's interesting to see your pictures. We're still waiting for our Article 5...and everything else.
