Nothing too exciting today. We mostly hung around the hotel today and packed up to fly to Guangzhou. Sierra and I ventured to McDonald's for a milkshake. Everyone wants to touch Sierra's hair and she gets a little freaked out when they do that. We left Hohhot around 5:40pm and had a 3 hour flight to Guangzhou. Cadence has been on the move a lot and was not happy about sitting on our laps for 3 hours. She seemed tired and got a little slap happy... crying one minute and laughing hysterically the next! Another adoptive couple who were flying with us said that they had never seen such a happy baby. We checked in to the Victory Hotel around 10pm. It's a big room, a suite, and everyone said how soft the beds were here. They were wrong!! Feels like we're sleeping on a cardboard box. Only a week til we are home in our own beds! Pics include our smiling girl and the lobby where we met Cadence (with our guide George). |
"Salad days" is an idiomatic expression, referring to a youthful time, accompanied by the inexperience, enthusiasm, idealism, innocence, or indiscretion that one associates with a young person. More modern use refers to a person's heyday when somebody was at the peak of his/her abilities—not necessarily in that person's youth. Let's just say, we are in our heyday!!
