Red Couch

Not much happened yesterday, Tuesday, Sept. 2. We had the consulate appointment in the morning. Usually none of the family has to go; it is just the guide. However, we made a little goof on one of the official papers and it just happened to be one that is notarized so it couldn't be corrected. So, Linda went along with the guide to clear things up. There was no problem and all of our American paperwork went through. We did a little shopping in the afternoon, but mostly took things easy. Everyone is eager to finish here and head on home.

This morning, Wednesday, Sept. 3, we took a stroll over to the White Swan hotel to take pictures on one of their red couches. The red couch picture is an adoption tradition. In China red is a lucky color.

Here is our new family on the red couch.

Here we are in front of the waterfall in the White Swan lobby.
