We are home! Got home Saturday night around 10:00 and all is going well. We are extremely jet lagged and Anna thinks day is night and night is day!
I was just too tired to blog that last days of the trip, but I plan on catching up now.
On Thursday morning we had our Consulate Appointment. This is the date your entire trip is arranged around. It's the last step - getting your child's visa and establishing her as a U.S. citizen. No cameras allowed!
You have to take the citizen oath for your child and have a short interview to make sure all your paperwork is correct. After thirty six hours, you are free to leave the country.
We went out to a local restaurant with the entire group for dinner that night. It was...authentic. We had to brush the dead flies off the table before we sat down. Not kidding. Here's one that was stuck under the glass so it stayed. Not kidding again.
Our Guangzhou guide, Grace, ordered all the food for us. She has been GREAT! She found medicine for us, ordered formula online and was just the most sweet and caring person ever.
We were thankful she didn't order this...
Or this...
I, for one, prefer that my food is dead before I get to the restaurant. But in China fresh is best!
Overall, the food we've been eating (not pictured above!) has tasted just like Chinese food back home.
Next post...home!
