Today's Adventures

This morning we had a treat and we Skyped with my family who are gathered in Georgia for Thanksgiving. And they sang us a song. It's less than a minute video.

Many of following photos are courtesy of Matthew, our terrific photographer. Some are from Marion, too.

Various foods for sale around the corner from our hotel.

Eels. Ewww.

Poor turtles. Tessa & Erin, can you imagine how Mary Alice felt about this???

This spiny lobster was enormous.

This is an intricate carving in stone in the hotel lobby.

Walking through Guangzhou with another family we met. Their boy is holding hands with Eric.

Beautiful flowers are everywhere. The temperature is perfect, about 78 and it is very sunny, not too humid.

In the open spaces, people gather all throughout the day. Today there was a ton of people taking photographs, and many of the photographed people were in wedding clothes. Evidently, a lot of people choose to have pictures taken in these beautiful gardens.

I think this is a Banyan Tree.

Even in China, Matthew finds butterflies. See the black swallowtail in the center?

Where's Megan?? Hiding behind the fountain -- which was not running today.  :(

Can you see the boxes piled up in the center of the photo? Well, if you look carefully, you will see a guy on a bicycle UNDERNEATH the boxes!! (Not the guy standing on the left, the bike guy is only partially showing.) I have no idea  how he pedaled that load, but he did it. We saw him actually in motion. Amazing.

The Pearl River

I thought this was such a funny statue.

The buildings are lit up at night.

We are on our way to bed, once again, the last night as a family of five. Tomorrow at 2:30pm (1:30am EST) we will meet our sweet Shanna. We will try to post around the 5-6pm (around 4-5am EST). Thanks for all the comments and prayers. We read them all and are so appreciative!! 

PS. Mrs. Cl---, you would not believe Megan's language and descriptions of her experiences. She is astounding us with her long sentences of such detail!
