We are Packed & Headed to Guangzhou


We shopped for Porcelain today. Got a really nice piece for our house to remember our trip to China. We then went today and purchased another suitcase - $12 to pack all our purchases. When we returned to the room, Abby decided it was hat time. She had us laughing so much. We are now packed and ready to go to Guangzhou. We got Abby's passport today and will go to get her Visa and she will be examined by an American doctor at the Embassy in Guangzhou.

We are ready for the humidity in Guangzhou and just hoping that the room A/C is better than what we have. It never really gets cool consistently. (Elease, it would even be warm for you.) Nanchang's weather has really been pleasant. It has been more comfortable outside than inside. As you can imagine, none of the shops have A/C and are very small spaces. When Shanghai experienced a Typhoon, we felt the winds and they were very comfortable.
We leave tomorrow morning about 10:00 am for the hour to hour and half flight. We are told that the Autumn Moon Festival begins on the 25th and that there will be parades, etc. so it will be neat to be there with Abby.

She is really doing better today. I actually got her to eat some scrambled eggs this morning. First real food that she has put in her mouth (other than croissants.) We have survived on McDonald's & KFC and the breakfast buffet at the hotel.
By for now, will post from Guangzhou tomorrow.

For some reason I couldn't pull up the posts that you did Thursday and Friday until about 10 minutes ago. Wow! What a difference? Our little rose bud is really starting to bloom. If we don't get to see her soon she'll be in full bloom by the time we see her.
You guys are all doing wonderful. God has been so good to all of us to give you two to our family and Abby to all of us. Thank you so much for bringing her into our lives. I love watching her daily growth.

Love to all
Auntie Ruth
