A change of scenery








This morning, we flew to Guangzhou. Truman didn't fuss a bit on the one hour flight. In fact, he has done pretty well all day. He even took a nap without starting World War Three. He is still going thru his routine of gathering his things and standing by the door, but he's not screaming "mama" for hours on end. Baby steps. In about an hour we are going to get his picture taken for his visa. On Monday he'll get a routine doctor's visit and then we'll have three days of free-time. Then, we go to the Consulate for final interviews and an oath of some sort. Then, on Saturday we finally fly home. One week to go.
In the photos: I had to throw in another picture of a smiling Truman. Then you'll see the three-story high Wal-mart in Nanning. Next is a shot of us boys feeding the koi. Finally, a group of Asian tourists mobbing our travel companions Lisa and James. You can't see them through the throng, but Lisa has blond hair and blue eyes, which makes her something of a phenomenon around here. People have been taking her picture since we landed in China.
More pictures later...








Oh, Bethany is content- there's a Starbucks in our hotel.
