Last 2 Days

Catching up on the last 2 days!

Yesterday we went to the silk market and Shamain Island for shopping and exploring.

Here is one of the hallways of the silk market.  I probably could have taken 10 more pictures of different hallways . . .but they all looked very similar.

Here is Jeremiah on the island checking out the Pearl River.   

A picture with these statues is a tradition for adoptive families . . . so here it is!

A pretty picture of the island.

Today was our appointment at the consulate for Jeremiah's immigrant visa, some time in a garden, and a river cruise.

We had to leave the hotel at 7:40am and somebody was still tired.

No electronics are allowed in the consulate.  So a picture outside is the only option.

Our hotel is "The Garden Hotel" (nicest hotel I've ever stayed at).  Back of the hotel is ??? . . . a GIANT garden!  It is absolutely beautiful.  Aaaaaand here are a couple of pics from the parts of the garden a 6 year old likes :)

We finished the day with a cruise on the Pearl River.  We did this 2 years ago with Samuel.  Probably wouldn't have done it again, except I had a feeling Jeremiah thought it would be cool.  And he did!

Tomorrow we go to the zoo and Thursday we head home!
