We are in Guangzhou now and we are enjoying our new hotel and city. There is less pollution which is very nice. You can actually see buildings and mountains in the distance. The hotel is lovely and the breakfast buffet is awesome. There are more adoptive families here from different agencies and we seem to have less stares. We completed the babies medical exams today for the visa appointment which will be June 17. Ayla is still sick and the visa doctor said her lungs "are not clear" and gave us an antibiotic for her. She really loves taking it. She loves it so much she lets us hold her down and pry her mouth open. Hopefully it works and she will start feeling better. Tomorrow we will take a tour of the city. I missed the description of what we are doing because Ayla was screaming her little face off. Isaac is doing amazing and so funny with Ayla. He is very sweet but will try to close doors to keep her from following him. It's pretty funny.

Below are photos of our small travel group, our Zhengzhou guide Vivian, them in the hotel and at a park in Zhengzhou. We loved our guide in Zhengzhou. She was so sweet to us. In a couple of days we will be joining with a larger CCAI travel group that will be arriving in Guangzhou. We have the same visa appt dates. The beginning of our trip was just a few days ahead of them and it was nice to have a small travel group. I can't imagine completing the first portion of this trip with so many families.

The next few days will include some down time which is much needed. The babies are doing excellent considering we have no schedule due to appointments. Nap time is all over the place, breakfast/lunch/dinner is who-knows-when and we are constantly on the bus/off the bus/in the heat. We have been able to keep night time pretty consistant which has helped. We are working on scheduling our day trips so hopefully will have more fun stories to share.
