Hello from Guangzhou~

We finally made it to GZ! This is our last stop before home! I miss Elias so much and I can't wait to give him a big hug and kiss!
We flew into GZ today about 11. We were taken to our hotel and then we went to get some lunch. We went to Lucy's on Shamian Island. It serves Western style food! I had a cheeseburger and frencg fries and Norah has a grilled cheese and french fries. She wasn't too hip on the grilled cheese but she loved the tomato that was on my burger! That kid can house some food! I don't know who is going to eat more - Norah or Elias! Then we went to some of the shops here that are along the street. Where we are staying is sort of the last gathering place of all Chinese adoptions. The consulate is here, so if you are adopting from China, you come through here. It is beautiful! The streets and shops are alot like Savannah. There are alot of palm trees and it is right on the water. We went to a few stores but I havent bought anything becuse I am holding out for Jennifer's place!
I promise I will post more pictures tomorrow :) Today has been kinda crazy with flying and checking into the hotel and stuff :) Hope all of you are doing well and we miss home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So happy to hear about Norah toddling around. Kids are amazing at overcoming things but Norah is even more special. I'm telling you , she is courageous and strong. She is a tiger! Seems like you have been gone forever!!
The last few days will fly by.
Can't wait to see you.
Love,Stuart

Have a wonderful trip in GZ.
Make sure to go to QingPing market and bring your camera. It will be an experience you will never forget.
Try the Cow and Bridge restaurant. Was our favorite.
Oh..try Susans place also..right down from White Swan...she is a Christian and does a GREAT job on the beautiful decorative bottles and can paint Elias's name on the inside. Also can do nice name stamps.
Oh...one more GREEEAT shop..the Childrens Charity store...cute clothes and such to bring home.
Have fun this week!
