Yesterday, our paperwork was completed in Shanxi and Ellie received her Chinese passport, thanks to our great guide and helper Christina.
This morning we flew to Guangzhou. After checking into our hotel and sorting through some confusion about our room, we went to a local restaurant that caters to Americans (called "Lucy's") and had a great American hamburger (Kendra had a chicken wrap). It was pouring down rain so we stayed for a while and finally decided to run for it since our hotel was only a few blocks away. We spent the rest of the day in our hotel room watching TV, playing with Ellie, talking with our local guide Helen, and giving Ellie her first bath (first with us) in the bathroom sink. She did great!
Ellie is bonding really well with us and we are very pleased. She is a real gift from God.
Tomorrow we will spend the day with our dear brother and sister Jack and Candy who we know from our days in Austria. We are really looking forward to that!
