Twenty-Four Hours of Firsts




We moved from Lanzhou (Lanjo) to Guangzhou (Gwanjo) on Saturday evening. A major step up in accomodations. On Sunday we had a terrific breakfast in the restaurant at the Westin..... AMAZING was more like it. A walk around the hotel and a swim followed. Bus ride to get photos taken and then to a mall for shopping (looking around for us mostly). Emily bought a Gucci (yeah, right) purse for about $20 US. Pearls, pearls, pearls...... We never knew there could be so many pearls in one place. Stores and stores of them.

Lot's of firsts for a little girl today:

First airplane flight
First Westin (for Mama and Baba, too....)
First pretty dress
First shower
First sticker book
First numbers
First swim
First pearls
First pizza

Medical stuff tomorrow. Application goes in for her visa Tuesday. Everyone have a great Labor Day! Enjoy the movie!

I'm sure you are sad to leave Lanzhou behind, but equally glad to move another step closer to home.

Your videos have stirred up lots of memories for us, and we're so impressed how Hui is adapting and settling with you.
