It's good to be in Guangzhou

We arrived in Guangzhou yesterday afternoon, and enjoyed a nice dinner with the group and a stroll along the Pearl River.  Today we went took a tour of the Six Banyan's temple, Provincial folk Art Museum and Guangdong Arts and Crafts shopping center.  In the afternoon, we strolled around Shamian Island. Since it was a Sunday, it was full of locals out enjoying their day off and there was much activity to see.  Late afternoon, we ran into friends from Vero Beach who arrived yesterday to adopt their second daughter also.  It was fun to catch up with them with some cold beverages at Lucy's and then dinner at the Cow & Bridge Thai restaurant.

Dani has transformed from the shy, quiet introverted child we were expecting from her paperwork and updates into a very active and happy baby.  She is walking all over the place, getting into anything she can, laughing, babbling, making noises and being quite the clown.  She is reserved around new people, but very comfortable around us and those in our group. She has also become a squirmer and it's hard to get her to sit still unless it's in her stroller or she is asleep.  It's so wonderful to see that happy smiling face all the time.  She loves to be out and about and is a very good sport.  She did great on the flight from Nanning to Guangzhou.  Let's hope she does that well on the long flights home.

Leah is having a blast with her friends, and is a wonderful big sister.  Here's a few photos from today.
