Today was our Consulate Appointment. The date that the timing of the entire trip was scheduled around. It didn’t really involve us at all. Our guide took all our paperwork to the consulate and we had to wait in our hotel by the phone in case they had any questions. Our guide called us and congratulated us on all of Amy’s paperwork being done on the US side as well as China. We pick up our papers tomorrow and then we can go home with our girl!!!!
We finally met up with the third couple from our agency that was traveling the same time we were. We met for lunch and walked pedestrian street with them. They have a sweet but very shy daughter. Amy liked her because she shared her snack with her.
In the evening we went on the Pearl River Dinner Cruise. The dinner wasn’t so great but the cruise was very nice. It was all Chinese food served with chop sticks, no forks. I thought we would just go hungry tonight. I managed to feed myself and Amy rice with the chopsticks. There were some noodles but I took one bite it was very spicy. Amy ate a lot of it. It amazes me that a child that young can eat really hot spicy foods without bating an eye! My eyes were tearing up! There were other foods but I stuck with the rice. After a light dinner we went up top on the observation deck for the rest of the cruise. It was just beautiful. The buildings and roads lining the river were decked out with LED lights that were animated with color and pictures, just amazing and beautiful. One building was flashing pictures of all the Olympic mascots, another had dancing flowers on it. Another looked like psychedelic rainbows swirling around and my favorite looked like a giant tetris game.
On the way home from the cruise we saw yet another store name lost in translation, it was called, “ Polly Bless You Pharmacy”. Not sure if the ‘bless you’ refers to a sneeze or of Polly is blessing you.
Tomorrow is our last day here!!
