This morning we had a free morning so we slept in a little later. We went down for breakfast and all Jacob really wanted to eat this morning was the rice noodles. The boy just loves the noodles. After breakfast we stopped by the United Airlines office to confirm our flight home. Then we went to get water and purchase an extra suitcase for our trip home from a little shop by the hotel. They actually had a booth selling Tupperware in the middle of this mall area where we bought our water. There is also a McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, and a Subway in the same building. We would have loved to had any of these close to us when we were in Guiyang!
In the afternoon we went back to the Medical Clinic to get the results of the TB tests. Praise God Jacob’s turned out just fine. The bump was too big for one of the other couples in our group who adopted a 9 year old girl. So their daughter had to have an x-ray taken, but she was just fine and had no evidence of TB in the x-ray.
After the medical clinic Simon took us to the wholesale jade and pearl markets. It was like a 7story circular indoor mall crammed full of mainly jewelry and clothing shops. We walked around looking for a toy store but couldn’t find one. We are desperately searching for quiet toys that will keep Jacob occupied on the 14 hour flight back home.
In the evening we went for a dinner cruise on the Pearl River. It was a very nice cruise. The views and the lights were spectacular. They light up all the bridges at night and we cruised by the Soccer Stadium we visited yesterday and it was all lit up with different color lights. Everything was great about the cruise except the food on the dinner buffet. I passed on a lot of things like the chicken feet and the prawn with heads and legs still on. So when we got back to the hotel Trish and Jacob went on up to the room while I made a trip to McDonalds. I love English bulldogs and much to my amazement on my walk from McDonalds I saw a Chinese Man walking an English bulldog. I didn’t have the camera but I did have the video camera in my pocket so I had to take a short video of him. Along with my double cheeseburger meal I brought back an Oreo McFlurry for Jacob. This was the first time we had given him ice cream and he loved it. He wouldn’t hardly let mom get a bite of it. We talked to Ellie on Skype before going to bed. Thank goodness we have been able to talk to her on Skype every day since we resolved our electrical issues in Guiyang. It would have been very hard to cope if we hadn’t been able to because we miss her so much. We are thankful we will be heading home in 2 days. Jacob was too busy rearranging the stuff in the desk drawer to talk to Jie’ Jie (big sister) Ellie tonight. Tomorrow morning we are off for our last round of paperwork and legal stuff when we submit the visa, citizenship, and immigration documents at the American Consulate for Jacob.
