We flew to Guangzhou today, it was a OK flight, about 5 hours. It was chilly when we left Urumqi, but when we landed here in GZ, it was warm and muggy!! It isn't horrible, just warm especially after being in Xinjiang where it is cool now. We came from the north-west part of China to the south-east coast area. We saw our friends the Skiles out and about with thier new son Zak. He is around 2, very cute and very tiny!! He comes from a more southern area where the people tend to be smaller. Tomorrow we will probably meet up with others from our group, it is a free day and we are going to go to church with the Skiles down the street from the White Swan. I thought Christianity was not really acceptable here, but they have a church in GZ!!
I will post some pictures tomorrow, and give you an update on our plans!! Love you Rorey!!

Happy you made it GZ. How did Sha Mei do on the flight? It is nice that you now have some others to meet up with. That will help pass some of the free time until you can come home. There is a great shopping area/blvd just a very safe 10 minute walk from the Island...you actually walk through an area called "animal alley" where they have every type of animal for sale you can imagine. It is fun for the kiddos to see. The pedestrian only shopping area is right behind the Holiday Inn Shifu. There is a McDonalds and Papa Johns, a department store and lots of other shopping and open space areas.
Take Care and Blessings to you!

Sha Mei will definitely fit in well...Riley looks like he enjoys having a little sister!! It looks like all of you are having fun. Enjoy the rest of your trip and stay safe. I can't wait for all of you to get back.
All of my love,
Aunt T.
