We stayed at a very nice hotel in Guangzhou last night and enjoyed the swimming pool this morning. We missed playing with the girls though, knowing that they would have had a ball! Then we were off to our final destination to Nanchang to get our daughter! First impression of Nanchang was that it was very green with a lot of agriculture. (That is the outerlaying area of the city. ) They receive many days of rain here. Also, it is very hot, at least 90 with humidity! It is a large city with over 2.2 million people here. Lots of new buildings around the city. Our guide, Mary, is a very sweet, gentle lady who has talked Rich out of going to see some historical mountains since they were 2.5 hours away. She gave us some great local information and even managed to get us the, "big room", at the hotel which overlooks the Gan river(which runs through town). She also gave us the most important information- when we will meet our daughter- This Sunday at 3:30!!!! She said they will bring her to the hotel. This is so different than when we went came to China last time. Two more days and then I can hold my sweet, little girl! It's hard to wait especially knowing that she is in this same city! Well, now we are going to go out to dinner and try some of the local cuisine. Mary says it is spicy, just the way Rich likes it. Please give the girls a big hug and kiss for us!
I don't think we will be watching any fireworks tonight, so enjoy them for us. Add a few, "Ooohs and Ahhhhs" for us. Writing to you from a Communist country, it is easy to be thankful for living in America in freedom. Say a prayer of thanks and a little prayer for us.
Love, Karen and Rich
