Today started out with breakfast at the White Swan. It is quite a change from the hotel in Kunming. Since all US families must pass through Guangzhou, this hotel is full of babies and toddlers. Our facilitator, Minhua, definitely knows the system. She had us all meet at 9:30 in the lobby to go get our visa photos and medical exams. When we arrived at the medical clinic there were only a few families. We cruised through the three check up stations. When we were leaving, there were families lined up all the way to the door. As you can see in the bottom two photos, Tess did great at her check up. According to the doctors, she has gained 2 lbs. since we first got her. She's 15.7 lbs. and 68 cm in length.
We did a little shopping after the visit to the clinic. We're getting a bit better at haggling, but most of the women here seem to have Tom figured out. They all look at him to negotiate the price. I've had to drag him away a few times and simply say "No, we don't want it."
We spent a few hours this afternoon filling out more paperwork. This time for the US Consulate. We're all looking forward to tomorrow as it will be a day free of agencies and paperwork. We're going to the Six Banyan Temple and Chan Clen Academy Museum.
