We decided to grow our family through adoption...this is our journey. "An ancient Chinese belief is that there is an invisible red thread connecting those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but never break."

Another day again in China
Tuesday was a very busy day for us. Due to all the construction (which is massive) in the surrounding area the street has a weekly black out, so 8am the power was out and was not expected to return until after 5pm. So we left the hotel and headed to the Guangdong Museum to spend a few hours to learn a little history and keep cool. Our next stop was lunch and we headed for the Grand View Mall to eat at a place called the Las Vegas Buffett. I wish I took pictures inside but forgot. My lunch consisted of french fires, spring rolls, pasta and ice cream. All I can say about the food is that I was not that adventurous as the rest of the group. After lunch we walked around the mall, which is the biggest mall I have ever seen. I do not even think we made it through half of it before heading back to the hotel. Got to experience the mad dash of people walking through the streets as we walked back (someone I know called it Human Frogger and she was right). We had enough time to freshen up (still no electricity) before going on a dinner boat ride on the Pearl River. Had a lot of fun and I know it is because of the group of people we are with. As usual the food provided was not my cup of tea. Needless to say, I am missing the little things like my flat iron, nice weather, good all american food and just home itself. I cannot believe we still have one more week to go. Most of our group will be leaving on Friday and the rest of us the following week. Now it is Wednesday and we had a free day so we walked to the mall to check out more stores and we are now just chilling in our room waiting to go to dinner. It has been raining like crazy here today. As we left the mail it was coming down so hard that we looked at each other and thought how are we going to get back without getting drenched, so of course we buy umbrellas (which if we were smart enough would have brought the free ones that they provide us at the hotel) and as soon as we leave the mall it stops raining...go figure. Not sure what we are doing Thursday, but I think we are having a farewell dinner for the families that are leaving and may visit another temple to bless the children.

Hi Guys! looks like the Quesadas are having a great time in China!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that you still have one more week to go.
It has been hot in sunny California too.
All the summer dresses that you took for Tanith seem to be working out great.
All that Ryan and Matt say is when we go to Iris and Rafa's house, we are going to ...

Enjoy, this was the trip of a lifetime in more than one way!
