Guangzhou Dec 18-23 2010

We loved our time in Guangzhou! After being couped up in the Wuhan hotel, it was great to be able to walk around in the balmy weather. It was fun to see all of the parents with their newly adopted babies & kids. While there we hired Ann from Red Thread to help us navigate the shopping scene & scored some great deals.

It was especially fun being in Guangzhou right after the Asia Games as there were many decorations left from that time. The citizenship ceremony was wonderful. We also discovered a few great restaurants during our time there.
