Hong Kong and Home

Tomorrow we take the train to Hong Kong and then head home the next morning. It's been a wonderful trip but i think we are all ready to come home:)

Pearl River Cruise Boat

Last night we enjoyed the sights of the city while cruising down the Pearl River. It was verrrry muggy and hot but the sights were beautiful. I especially liked the radio tower (tallest in the world) and the way the colors changed. 


Mei Mei becomes an American Citizen!

This morning was our US consulate appointment. We completed the paperwork and will pick up Mei Mei's paperwork to enter the US as an American Citizen! There were 3 other families with us from Great Wall China Adoption!

More pearl market!

The magnitude of this market is indescribable. We went into the back halls and I began to panic. Beads and stones from floor to ceiling everywhere! Take a look!



The Chen family temple!



There are several temples in Guangzhou. We visited the Chen Family Temple. When I think of a temple I think of a religious temple. Not the case here. The Chen Family Temple is where you pay respect to a prominent family. The building details are unbelievable and everything within the temple has a meaning behind it.
