More of Guangzhou

Although we are enjoying the hotel here in Guangzhou, Jason said that he would much rather be at The Skirvin Hotel in OKC for one week of vacation. We have met many nice families from the USA and have seen many beautiful children from China though none as pretty as our Chongqing girl! The Chinese refer to the girls from Chongqing as the most beautiful and the "Spicy Girls." This is not only because of the hot and spicy food in the region, but also the spicy temper, which we have certainly experienced a few times. We miss Chongqing, especially our guide and friend Sophie!

Today Mary Kate learned to wave and say, "Hi." She cruises through the hotel lobby waving to everyone. She has gone from being near mute to being a complete extrovert in less than one week, isn't that amazing! She is a great sleeper and has truly become addicted to cheerios, we cannot go anywhere without them. Tomorrow is her physical examination, Visa photo and of course, more money to be paid! I am thankful as we will be one step closer to coming home...only 6 more nights in China!

Sounds like the two MKs have a lot in common...tempers, love for food, and must have sleep.
