First, I need to thank Brion for the pictures for today's journal. I forgot (again!) to put the memory stick back in the camera after downloading yesterday's pictures. So...THANKS BRION!
Wayne met us in the lobby and we headed to the Guangzhou zoo. It was really nice. The animals didn't seem too neurotic. Most were in simple cages, nothing like a real habitat. But none the less, Julia and Isaac had fun. We came back to the hotel and rested till it was time to go to our consulate appointment. I was rather shocked at the "ceremony". We went through security, had our passports checked and then went to a room with many other adoptive families. After a bit of a wait, some dude comes out and says a few words and then that's it. WOW! How lackluster. I was expecting something much more.
Wayne took us to an authentic Cantonese restaurant. I loved everything! Aunt Pam, this is the place to be for people that don't eat meat. It was by far our best meal in China. Julia loved the seafood scrambed eggs and the seafood rice. Mmmmmm!!
Ok...enough typing again for tonight. Tomorrow I post our last journal entry from China. I can't believe it almost over!!!
"An invisible red thread connects those destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break.” Our red thread journey is complete now that Julia is home. Please enjoy reading about our family now that we are 5. Our adoption trip to China is archived in the November 2005/December 2005 sections.
