Days 10-11-12

Sorry I’m combining the days but we have had problems with the wireless connection here in the hotel.  I am combining these all together to get caught up.  We got into Guangzhou early Friday evening and waited on another family to arrive in the airport so we had McDonalds for dinner.  We checked into hotel and settled in for the evening.  Saturday we were up early and had breakfast.  After breakfast we had to go to the hospital for BenQiu’s medical appointment.  The medical appointment is nothing more than a physical to make sure she is ok to travel and not sick or running a fever.  Unfortunately, we found out during the physical that she is near sided and is going to need glasses.  We will have to make her an eye appointment with our eye doctor when we get back.  Not sure how that will turn out since she speaks no English.  Should be interesting.  After the medical appointment we went to the Chen Family Museum.  Below are some pictures from the museum.    Yesterday we got up and had breakfast and then headed out to the “mall”.  The mall is essentially where a huge amount of different vendors and shops are for wholesale merchandise.  They sale everything (i.e jewelry, beads, Chinese artifacts, jade etc…).  We made it back to the hotel and walked around the island and shopped all of the local shops.  We did find our friend Michelle who we met when we were here in 2010 adopting Sydnee.  Erika bought the girls some jewelry and got BenQiu a stamp with her name engraved on it.  While we were in there shopping, a big old thunderstorm blew in and we got stuck in the store for an extra 30-45 minutes or so.  The rainstorm finally passed long enough for the boys and I to walk up the road about 15 minutes or so to get pizza from Pizza Hut.  We ate in the room and called it a night.  
Oh by the way it has been partly sunny and in the low 90s here these three days with probably 45% humidity.  HOT, HOT, HOT.
