It's a beautiful but hot and sticky night here in Guangzhou. We are enjoying the amenities of the fabulous White Swan Hotel, in between the paperwork and coughs and sniffles. Most of us have caught some version of Naomi's cold, but Mom Dudero is feeling pretty well. Roger and I are not too bad, but the two kids are now on antibiotics -- Danny complained of earache today and the Chinese doctors at the routine medical exam said that Naomi probably has bronchitis. We are VERY thankful to have brought two kinds of antibiotics for just such occurances. Hopefully the kids (and us) will sleep better tonight.
Our guide Joy is going over our final paperwork with a fine toothed comb, and will submit documents for Naomi's U.S. visa tomorrow. On Friday, we will have the "swearing in" ceremony and receive her visa. Saturday we finally get on a plane headed home!
Pictures for today show Naomi in her stroller, Danny and Roger assembling a dino model from the Mongolian Museum, the lobby waterfall in our hotel, and the lights along the Pearl River (from Mom Dudero's window).
The river has a fantastic nightly display of neon, spotlights, dinner cruise ships, laser lights, and blaring music. I wish we could post a movie of it. This city has a more western, resort-type feeling to it. The heat and humidity can be quite stifling, but indoor spaces are air-conditioned (unlike in Inner Mongolia).
This ritzy hotel is charging a lot for internet access, so we'd better stop. And by the way, we can't view our blog from here, nor read your comments, but we know your prayers and good wishes are with us and that is so encouraging. We will be home soon!

Andrew says the dino looks cool and wants to know if it glows in the dark?
