Day 10

We were very excited to wake up this morning to Lily having no fever and wanting to drink her bottle. She is still a little more cranking than normal (she's normally not cranky at all), but much better.

Her TB test was negative so no chest x-ray :).

We spent the afternoon on Shaman Island which is an area of Guangzhou that is very European looking and has lots of little shops. I great place to by all things Asian. We got some outfits for the girls. Mia had been wanting a beautiful, special jewellery box (her description) since she got here - so she found that :). We bought Lily a jade pendant to give to her when she gets older, Mia already has one - this is something that is very traditional Chinese.

It was a fun afternoon - very hot, we finally got a stroller as it is too hot carrying Lily around in the pouch. She did OK in it.

This evening we had a special treat and went on a dinner cruise with the other families. It was a great way to see the city, and something other than McDonald's to eat. Check out the pictures on facebook, and you'll see what we got to eat instead :).

Tomorrow will be a slow day, and then Wednesday we start the process of finalizing Lily's US citizenship, we will have the swearing in on Thursday. Friday we get the paperwork, and take a bus back to Hong Kong. Saturday we fly home.
