Day 10

At the airport in Chongqing - ready to board our flight to Guangzhou:


The waiting room at our gate.  Very retro:


Jenny coaching Becky on air safety:


Jenny not practicing what she preaches:


Sleepy baby = happy parents (when flying, at least):


What I like most about asian airlines: the ample legroom:


A hazy view of our hotel in Guangzhou (the White Swan) as we are on final approach:


Another couple of quick views from the air:




If we designed a runway like this, we would be out of business pretty fast.  It's not a surprise that they are about to open a new airport:


On the bus to the hotel.  Becky taking in the sunshine, much warmer temperatures, and new sights:


ShaSha telling us what we need to know to complete the "American side" of the adoption paperwork:


Guangzhou is much more western than anywhere I have seen in Asia so far:


At least the cars we have seen have stayed in their own lanes, not to mention the correct side of the road!


There is still plenty of "Old China" to be found:


Right next door to the city to come:


Might want a little duct tape on this:


Daddy has been the food dispenser most of the time:


Mommy does everything else.  Guess who is more tired.


Views from our window at the White Swan. Shamian Island, where the hotel is located, is like a tropical resort.  Stark contrast to the dirty and noisy streets of Chongqing:
