Guangzhou

We are so proud of our baby girl. She fell asleep before we left the terminal in Hefei and did not wake up until we landed and were at our gate in Guangzhou. She slept sound the whole way. After our hour and a half flight to Guangzhou, relief! Relief is an understatement. Not that the last hotels in Beijing and Hefei haven't been nice, but this is to another level. THE WHITE SWAN HAS AIRCONDITIONING!!! There is a book in each room about the hotel and all of the presidents and leaders of other countries that have stayed here. Castro stayed here. Needless to say, this place is beautiful. We will discover more of the hotel tomorrow. We are right on the banks of Shaiman Island and the Pearl River. Right down the street, a beautiful walk, is Lucy's. Lucy's is about as American as Applebee's. American movie posters are all over the wall, American music is playing, it's awesome. After a few of our travel companions have become sick, even to the point of going to the hospital in Hefei, it is great to know we have a place where we can get food we don't have to worry about. The streets outside are alive with nightlife and shoppers. That'll be us tomorrow.

This last picture is just a reminder of the fun you can have with kids. We miss you Jill-Marie and Zac.
