Greetings from Guangzhou

Our flight from ChangSha was uneventful. We are now at a very nice hotel, the White Swan. And we finally have air conditioning again! And that's a good thing because it's hot and humid here. Temperatures average in the 80s in the afternoon, which wouldn't be too bad, but the humidity averages around 90%. There's a constant haze of pollution and fog. We haven't done a lot since we've been here other than the required stuff, like passport photos and medical exams for Maddie, etc. Kim went on a tour, but we've skipped some other things like zoo trips and shopping trips. Kim has had a cold for several days and she just went to see a doctor and found out she has a throat infection, so we won't doing much before we leave I don't think. Also, computer access is more expensive here, so I probably won't do many more entries. And I still can't read the blog, even though I can post. Must be the Great Firewall at work...

I tried to upload a 3 minute movie we made with the digital camera, but it was going to take over an hour to upload. So we'll just go with another picture. This is from the group photo session on the Red Couch at the White Swan.

Hi,
It's a shame you can't read all of the nice comments people have written, but when you get home, you will enjoy them and know that everyone was following your "Journey to Madeline".
Love You, MOM

Maddie is in the dark blue sweater, no points for Auntie Amy... :-) And I finally was able to trick the computer into letting me see comments using an Internet caching site. Too bad it's near the end. Ah well.
