Off to Guangzhou

5 bags and 3 children! Just traveling lightly once again.
We woke up at the crack of dawn to catch our early am flight to Guangzhou.
Seating by a window Ruby waved bye bye to the Hunan province.
She was smiling and then crawled into my lap and passed out for the remainder of the flight where smoking is not permitted but it is?
At the airport we were happy to find a really clean bathroom with all the latest modern plumbing fixtures!
The only thing was they didn't work?
Thank god for moist towlettes to clean our hands!
After checking into the White Swan Hotel, Uncle Dougie (not my brother, a family member of one of our families here)
anyways-Uncle Dougie and Billy went to a burger joint and brought back REal burgers and fries!
They assured me they were real cow meat ? Uncle Dougie had one two years ago here.
whatever it was -it was worth it!
Everyone was in HEaven! Ruby loves those fries!
Off to the Dr. office for RUby's physical.
It took all of 5 minutes and once again she waved good bye to her Dr..
Still jumping through hoops here waiting for yet another clearance.
We have managed once again to turn our room into a Zoo.
It's 3 am here all is quiet. My girls are fast asleep next to me. I really like the hotel. It's right out of the 60s. Great waterfall in the Lobby! Robert , you would love the giant Koi!
Our visa meeting a the counslate is in the early am.. Hope all goes well.
As our time here is running out, I am so happy to finally find traditional Chinese clothing here in Guangzhou!
Not easy to find, gone are the Mao jackets, hats and black cloth shoes......
P.S. I didn't order the stewed Pig Ball last night.
Instead I went for the steamed fish. The only thing was that it was brought to us first in a clear box waving it's fins before they cooked it.
Fish out of water-?
