For those of you not familiar with Chinese Adoption when you come to Guangzhou, to the White Swan Hotel, they have red couches in the lobby. These couches have been famous for many adoption group photos over the years. They place all the adopted children from the group on the couch for a group photo. Some of the children cry and some are really good. Emily did really well on the couch, she just never looked at the camera. So I am hoping that I can get a photo from someone else in our group that actually got a face shot of her. Ezra was the only boy amongst the sea of girls and he was a ham. She is such a sweet little one. Emily and he are friends and enemies too! They share at times and then hit each other at times too. The group photo went well today it was just warm being in the spot light, lol!

After Emily's nap and her lunch we decided to go out and see if we could find a suitcase for Emily's stuff and all the souvenirs I bought. We luckily found a great deal and bargained even further to get the piece of luggage (which is quite nice), two pair of shoes for Emily, a ball for her that she likes in the play room, at little purse, a wallet, and a jade turtle for $31 US dollars! Not too bad!!!!! And Jordan, the store owner wrote Emily's name in calligraphy and Chinese symbols for free. Gotta love shopping in China!

This evening we went on a Pearl River cruise. Shiyan ordered us Papa John's pizza and we ate on the boat. After eating we went up top and looked at all the buildings along the river. We also were entertained by a clown on the second floor. She juggled and Emily was captivated by her. We were all exhausted when got back. Tomorrow we have to get up early and walk to the Medical Clinic to get Emily's TB test read. It looks good so I am hoping it all goes well. Night all, only 4 more days and we will be headed home! Funny thing is my sister and I have been craving Doritos and popcorn and of course, I miss my diet Pepsi...Coke Zero just isn't the same.
