Yesterday was our consulate appointment.
Before we could do that, we had to run upstairs to revisit the medical doctors who had seen Clementine on Saturday.
Thankfully we got the all clear and we were given her medical paperwork to submit with our visa paperwork.
One hand-raising oath, some passport checking and a few fingerprints later, and we were done.
Momentous. Exciting.
But no cameras allowed. Wah.
Our tour option for the day was the Guangzhou zoo and the Pearl River cruise. But decided to opt out – to keep Clementine’s outings to a minimum.
Turned out to be a really good call. After feeding Clementine a bottle and some rice cereal, she napped. And napped.
3 1/2 hours.
She woke up in such a good mood.
We decided to go over to Shamian Island for a quick stroll.
To see the sights.
Buy a souvenir or two.
And grab an ice cream cone, of course.
We even got to see the beautiful Pearl River by night.
We might have visited Lucy’s for a basket of the yummiest fries ever, too. No picture necessary.
Today we will return to Shamian Island for pictures of Clementine in her silks.
Sty tuned. It should be fun.
Almost home!
Oh my – such a wonderful day – I am beyond thrilled for you all – and that nap! Way to go Clementine
