Night falls on China - November 15, 2006

Today was another beautiful day filled with great weather and more memories to last a life time. This morning was free time for us so we walk around the island and took a walking trip to another part of the city (I don't know how many miles we walk a day but I'm sure it would blow me away if I really knew):



Our "scheduled" day started in the afternoon with Sofia's medical exam. The only good thing about it (as Sofi was screaming during some of the procedures) was Sofia looked for us. Once Dawn would be able to hold her, she seemed to know things would be ok and found comfort in Dawn's touch. Here's some pictures from the exam (by the way - she's now over 15 pounds. When we first got her, she was unable to roll over and in the almost two weeks she's been with us she's able to roll over and over and over):


After the medical exam our GREAT guide (from our adoption agency) Judy had arranged for us to go to a wonderful ancient museum in Guangzhou. The name of the place was the Chen Ancestral Hall. This place was like so many here - absolutely incredible.


We were back on our private bus and headed back to the island where Judy had arranged for us to have a spectacular Chinese dinner in a private room of a restaurant. The food was out of this world. The fun wasn't over yet. After dinner we were off to a cruise on the Pearl River, which runs through Guangzhou, to see the wonderful lights around the city. Here's a picture of our beautiful Sofia waiting for the boat and just a few of the pictures of the city near the Pearl River:


After such an action packed day what else is there for a girl or girls to do but ..........


Tomorrow we're off to see the orphanage Sofia was in and the city she was found in. Again, we thank everyone for your support and continued prayers.
