Shopping and more

The breakfast buffet started the day. We sat right at the window overlooking the Pearl River, wish I would have brought my camera to breakfast. After we were all full we went back to the room and all of us napped for a little while. We had to wait in our rooms until noon and await a call saying that all of our consulate paperwork was in good shape. It was. From there lunch at Lucy's.


After our grilled cheese and BLT's, it was time for our trip to the mall. It is by far the biggest mall I've been to. After walking way in to the back we found the pearl stores and the DVD's. By the way, I bought Star Wars Episode 3, War of the World's, Stealth, Ocean's 12, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for less than $10 total. AWESOME. I'll have to let Cynthia tell you about what she bought. It may be a surprise. WHOOPS!! That is basically all we looked at. We only had one hour before heading back to the White Swan.
Dinner was ordered from Danny's Bagel. Pepperoni Pizza and Macaroni and Cheese aren't exactly what I figured on eating while in China. After several in our group have become sick from the food, it is hard to muster the courage to try other foods.

Had to throw a pic of the reason for the trip in. I know serval people back home that would rather see pictures than read my take on the day.
Tomorrow we have our consulate appointment where we take our oath and we have our red couch pictures taken. The red couch pictures are of all the babies in our group photographed on the red couches here in the hotel. It is a tradition with CCAI.
