Next Stop: Guangzhou

We hit the road out of Nanchang this afternoon, and arrived safely in Guangzhou this evening... we are now settling in to the White Swan Hotel, which is the MOST FABULOUS hotel in the world. Okay, we haven't seen that many, but it has to be up there... but here's how our journey went...

First, we bounced out of Nanchang passing by its famous Wal-Mart Super Center...


Next, we crossed a cool looking bridge over a famous river that we're too tired to Google the name of... feel free if you have the time... it is guarded over by some crazy looking cats!


We made a whole bunch of new friends in the Nanchang airport... and let's just say that when it came time to board our flight, they didn't live by the credo of women and children first...


We decided in the hour before we boarded, this would be a good time for Gracie to finally meet Mr. Piggly Wiggly. They were going to be flying together and sharing a seat, so they may as well be introduced.


She was a super champ on the 1 1/2 hour flight... she had a bottle on the way up, and slept through the whole flight. While mommy and daddy were pulling at their ears and whining, she was sawing Z's... and now we're all in for the night. This city is incredible, and we'll be posting a slew of pics in the days to come...

Lastly, we close with a final shout out to the cast and crew of "Into the Woods" to break a leg.

  3. Mary, I must be on the same wavelength with your Dad. That pic of Wal-Mart made me feel all warm and fuzzy. It's nice to know that in every corner of the world there is a sale on knee socks and vienna sausage. We love all the smiley pics of Gracie and Mr. Piggly Wiggly.

    Love,
    Serena, Mike, Zack and Josh

  4. The Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge..over the Yangtze River of course. Your baby is awesome! Sort of disappointed you couldn't have named her Telemachus, but obviously I see why that wouldn't work.
