Second Blessed Full Day in Guangzhou

I can't explain how cool this is being here in China AND enjoying our baby doll. She is getting more and more relaxed every day with us. I can even make her smile now! Amy and I have several things in common already. She adored our shopping outing today, relishing the traditional Chinese outfits we purchased for her in 6 or 7 sizes. She happily ate a meal off the kiddie menu today, tofu and broccoli. She scarfed 3 big broccoli heads, and about eight 2 inch by 2 inch tofu cubes. She even loved the briny broth the dish came in. She is my girl!









Here is a gift from Mattel. Click to enlarge if you like. Each family staying in the White Swan for adoption receives this special Barbie, and it cannot be purchased. It is a caucasian mommy with an asian baby. We FINALLY GOT THE BARBIE!








Mom, this is for you! Ladies playing Mah Johngg in the park. You would love China.




The princess at a cool restaurant, Lucy's. They advertise Starbucks, and did brew me some. It really broke down, however, when I tried to get it "to go".





We are in awe with this fabulous culture. People are outdoors doing all kinds of activities. In a short walk this morning, we saw at least 10 different groups of people ballroom dancing to a boom box, 2 groups of Tai Chi'ers in the park, people playing cards and Mah Johngg on card tables in the park, and another game like hacky sack but with weighted feather clusters. People being active in the park include children and elderly folks. Fantastic!
