Off to Guangzhou and the US Embassy


We finally were approved and were able to leave Changsha City and head to Guangzhou for our exit interview at the US Embassy. Here is Lucy waiting for her first plan ride. We left on Saturday January 15th. We arrived at the White Swan Hotel early afternoon. The White Swan Hotel is known as the "Baby Hotel" because it is where most American adoptive parents stay. It was a beautiful hotel. The weather in Guangzhou was a nice change from Changsha. Changsha was cold and dreary almost every day we were there while Guangzhou was in the upper 60's to low 70's and sunny. We did a lot of shopping while we were there. The first restaurant we ate at that afternoon was an American restaurant called (if you can believe it) "Lucy's".
