The flight was fine... Slept almost half the way on the long flight from Atlanta to Korea...
Guangzhou is busy... Not like I expected really.
We decided to take a walk on the wild side and have Subway for dinner;)
After almost getting killed by several crazy Chinese drivers, we walked back to the hotel, walked around for a bit, and are back up in our room, ready to crawl into our concrete beds and call it a day... And it's only 7:30 PM.
Tomorrow (Sunday) we are on our own. We have a meeting at noon on Monday with our guide and then we head over to civil affairs to get Abby at 2:00PM.
We are SO excited to meet her!!!
On Tuesday we fly to Chongqing to get Ashlyn, hang out there for a few days, and then fly back to GZ until the 22nd.
I am missing my sweet babies from home, but we skyped with them earlier and they are doing great.
It's so weird to be here. Maybe I'm just tired, but I'm already homesick. I know one things for sure, this is a great awakening for Alex and Ansley. For me too. I am so thankful to be an American!!!
I'll post pix tomorrow.
Good Night!
