Update from Guangzhou

My mother is not too happy with me for not posting the last few days so I better get her some information so she will know how her son is doing. I know she is concerned more about me than her grand-babies. Ha! Ha!


Thursday we spent the day around the hotel in the morning and awaited our guide to pick us up to go to the park. It was nice to relax and walk around the park even though it was in the middle of the city of Nanchang. It still seemed miles away from the hustle of the everyday life in China. Kendall enjoyed it because she got to play on a playground and we bought some fish food and she fed the fish from a bridge overlooking the pond.

Friday morning was a travel day so we all got up, went for breakfast and then headed back to the room to get packed.  It seems like the preparation for an hour and a half flight takes the whole day. We took one more picture of Wal-Mart in Nanchang and headed on to the airport. We arrived after dark in Guangzhou and took about an hour van ride to the White Swan Hotel. This is a famous hotel widely known for adopting families to stay as well as dignitaries from all nations. I guess I fit both of those, Georgia may not agree with that though. We got checked in to the room and went in search for FOOD! After a very short walk, we decided on Lucy’s! Lucy’s is a famous restaurant here on Shamian Island to the westerners because they have license plates from the states all over the walls, domestic beer from the states, hamburgers and French fries. They even had a bottle of ketchup on the table, something I haven’t seen in almost 2 weeks. “Thank you Lord”.
