The museum that we visited today
At Lucy's, a restaurant that we went to
By the river at night
Today was a pretty busy day. We got up this morning for breakfast and got to see all of the other families and their babies again. Sarah Lu just LOVES babies! This morning AnnaClaire, a 13 month old in our group, and Sarah Lu were "playing" together. AnnaClaire's JieJie(Big Sis), Emily, had just put a bow in AnnaClaire's hair. Sarah Lu saw this and ran up to AnnaClaire and yanked the bow out of AnnaClaire's hair and handed it to Emily! It was SO cute and hilarious!!
This afternoon we had our U.S. Consulate Appointment, we didn't actually go to the Consulate, only our guides do. Anyway, everything went great with that and we have passed this step as well.
A little later this afternoon, one of our guides, Fontana, came to our room to teach us some useful Chinese phrases so we can communicate better with Sarah Lu. While she was here she asked Sarah some questions in Chinese. She asked, "Do you like baba(daddy)? Yes. Do you like mama? Yes. Do you like jiejie(big sis)? Yes. Who do you like best? JieJie!" I don't really know why she has bonded to me the most...She is getting better with Mom and Dad though, she is accepting them more and more each day.
Later today we went with our group to a museum and then to Shamian Island again. The museum was interesting, they had these ivory carvings and they were so detailed, it was amazing! On Shamian, we did a little more shopping and decided to stay a little later than the rest of our group. We ate at Lucy's, a restaurant on the island that serves good American food. They had really good food and it was fun. We saw ab0ut 10 other adoptive families eating there as well.
After we were done later, we took a taxi back to our hotel, The China Hotel, which is in the city of Guangzhou instead of on Shamian Island.
Sarah Lu has not taken her nap today either, hopefully tomorrow she will.
I will try to update again soon.

We too found Lucy's to be a great place! We were tired of Chinese food by then and it was where Ethan ate his first peanut butter and jelly sandwich! We look at your blog daily and Ethan looks too screaming "Sarah Lu.... Sarah Lu" when he sees Sarah's photos.
So have you found a Starbucks yet? Pretty sure that would have been the 1st thing I'd be looking for ;)
Once again, I'm proud to say that I have the most attractive family ever.
PS...come home. The dogs are bratty and need their Daddy!!!!!!!!!!
