Today was a trip to some lovely gardens, they were so beautiful and would have been a perfect day except for the oppressive heat and humidity. My skin does feel very soft though! The photos are a little out of order so please forgive...
We got to the couch a little early to get a few shots solo before the chaos ensued (she never had an afternoon nap and we were worried about a melt down.
Valerie invited herself into this group shot to immerse herself in the local culture, nobody was smiling before this shot!
A very large green house and a working clock in the grass.
Beautiful architecture, the fountains and architecture were set off by beautiful music over loudspeakers.
The park was all decked out in anticipation of the upcoming Olympics.
We bought Miss Aubriana a princess pink stroller for the trip home. She much preferred it to the rickety loaner strollers here on Shaiman Island. We were on our way to the Red Couch.
Aubriana and her Chen Zhou sister Abby.
A very happy family.
Mommy & her little Empress
Daddy's Girl
Tomorrow, we get visa photos of the babies and the medical exam.
We miss everyone and really enjoy your comments, keep them coming.
Love Valerie, Gary & Aubriana

Sorry its hot and humid in GZ. Are you staying at the White Swan? If you are, try the outdoor restaurant next to the hotel in the evening. The cool breezes from The Pearl River are so welcome!
Are you going to be able to take the dinner cruise and do the Buddihst Temple Blessing at the Banyon Temple? Its hot there but is an amazing opportunity you'll be happy you did!
Enjoy all the great shopping!
I just tear up when I see your family photos! Beautiful!!!

These pix will make a wonderful photographic memento of your trip -those gardens must have been extraordinary! Favorite comment: "you can feel yourself shrink in your jeans" - great way to convey the humidity--may I quote you? The next three days will fly by - see you soon! Love, m
I have been following your trip for the last week or so. We are leaving in three weeks so your blog has been helpful.
Your daughter is so cute. Love her little feet in the first couple of pictures. Those toes are too much. Congratulations and enjoy your new family.
