Leaving Zhengzhou on the way to Guangzhou

Amanda loves to point in her cute way, especially when there's a camera
She's amazingly content and bonding with us so well! Tonight my dad are wearing our t-shirts that say Ba ba (daddy) and Ye ye (grandpa).



Our group in the hotel in Zhengzhou before going to the airport. We are now taking care of US Visa stuff and sightseeing a little in Guangzhou while we stay at the famous White Swan Hotel. There are 49 families (from different adoption agencies) staying here who are adopting. It's great to see them all at breakfast! We are on a small island and there are riverboats, beautiful walkways with a tropical feel and it's in the high 90s all week! Nice to see the sky here. We only saw it for half a day in Zhengzhou due to the overcast weather. We are eating Italian tonight to take a break from Chinese food, which has been excellent.



Her pink hat was a big hit today and she would hide behind it. Thanks to na-na!



At the airport in Zhengzhou with Eli, who was a buddy of hers in the orphanage. Amazingly enough, they are about the same age.



We walked by a wedding in Zhengzhou. Their attire is similar to ours in this case.



Amanda went for her physical today and passed. They are still waiting the results of the TB test she had to take. The way they checked her hearing was tapping a lighter on the floor. Brett felt that probably wasn't the safest thing to do in a hospital. He had them get rid of all the animals in the room because of her fear of them which we really wish we knew where that came from. All in all a good day with Amanda feeling much better.
