Immigration

We took Lily to the U. S. Consulate in Guangzhou today.

The adoption process is laborious and long, but is also legal and proper.

Let me paint a picture for you.

We are a nation of immigrants.

But we are also a nation of laws (and paperwork).

Legit.

Fun in the bus with new friends!

Day trip to Shamian Island.

Still unsure if Confucius overcharged honest Abe or not...

Hey, mom! It looks like you got some fruit drink at Starbuck's.

I like fruit drinks.

Hey, I was just kidding but that was actually kinda yummy.

Out of a sense of tradition, we had chicken fingers and fries at Lucy's.

Then we shopped around at a few local stores.

Mostly, we just strolled through the streets.

We miss home.
