We had a slow paced day today, so we got together with a friend of a friend.  Angelina,

born and raised in Guangzhou, has lived in many parts of the world. She is an amazing

person - speaks 5 languages and loves the Father. What a blessing to spend so much

time with she and her friends. 

We’ve just had such a fun time with the Allen’s, another adoptive family here from Indiana. 

Sandy and I met on line so it’s been great to actually meet she and her wonderful family

in person.  We spent the afternoon/evening with them window shopping on Beijing Road.

We even rode the subway back to our hotel this evening - it was some ride!!!

A really fun, fun day.  We can hardly believe our time here is dwindling.  Just when I’m

starting to get used to the smells and the food.  Ha!

We visit the consulate tomorrow and pick-up Lia's passport and Visa.  Then we start our

journey home on Wednesday through Hong Kong.  Can't wait to see everyone!
