Greetings From Guangzhou!

We are in Guangzhou and so happy to be here! We felt like we were coming back to a resort. This place is actually very pretty. We're staying on an island located in the middle of the city. It is right next to the Pearl River.

We got unpacked, took laundry to a local store, ordered a picture of Nyah to be carved into a stone for Jordan, WENT TO STARBUCKS, and shopped. We walked around the island. Boy, has it has changed since we were last here. They are undergoing a financial struggle on the island and many of the buildings are shut down. There is less shopping than before therefore, we went down different streets. There is so much that we missed the first time.

The adoption families are converging on the island. It was humorous how everyone, including us just started talking. Everyone is eager to see other Americans and hear fluent English.

We ate at Lucy's, a local restaurant that has Western food. It was great!! Jordan, we stopped by that Jordon store that we didn't get to last time. This picture is for you.

Well...we shopped until we dropped and got Nyah to bed by 8:00.

Tomorrow we'll shop, get a massage and rest on the island until 2:00pm. Then, we meet in the lobby and head down to Nyah's medical check. Tomorrow evening we'll go on the Pearl River dinner Cruise. It is part of the package deal. Very pretty and fun!

The weather is perfect. Much cooler than when we were here in July 07.
We will send more pictures and info later.

Love you all,

Melody and Eric
