Guangzhou!

So for the rest of Friday.. we stayed in.  We thought of going out for a bit until we saw the Air Quality Index was 247-VERY UNHEALTHY...  so no go.

We stayed in.. packed.  hung out.  Charlotte had some hives.  So we are very lucky to have a Dr in the group.  He took a look and said, well not much you can do.  Just give her benedryl and let them run their course.  Poor thing.  David went out to grab some dinner.. and got these delicious meat pies!  yum..  but by then both girls had fallen asleep.

Saturday..  we were all up early.  Poor Charlotte's hives are moving through and all over.  She was miserable.  Got her medicine and a bottle.That helped, she was her bubbly self soon after.

Got everyone ready and down to breakfast early and ready in the Lobby to leave Zhengzhou at 730am!!  We all hopped on the bus with our stuff and headed to the airport.  The traffic wasn't so bad, which was nice.  Wow wicked traffic in Zhengzhou.  Anyway, airport went very well, our guides were awesome.  We had the last row of seats in the plane and Charlotte was on my lap for our almost 2hr flight.  It was just gross... the smog.  I mean you couldn't see the runway from the terminal.  Took forever to get above the smog and clouds and see some blue sky.  We had a nice flight, some good snacks.  Both girls were VERY good.  Once at Guangzhou we were very happy to see all our stuff made it and oh my the air smelled sweet, almost.  Just smells so much better.  I mean there is smog here, but it's just not as bad.  And yey!!  No more snow and cold.  It's very comfortable here in the 70s.  

Our first thing to do once in our room was to figure out what needed to be washed, or more like what doesn't need to be.  We have a duffle bag plus a bag of laundry to do!  It'll go out tomorrow and we'll get it Monday. YEY!  

I have to say, I'm ready to go home.  Hoping USA paperwork goes well.  Please pray for lighter pollution.  It's really affecting me and Robyn.  Sore and dry throats.  

Tomorrow is a tour day, doing some fun things.  Most of which we did before with Robyn.  We want to do the temple because last time we got a blessing from one of the monks and we are hoping to do that for Charlotte too.

Good night ya'll.  I'll try and post some tomorrow.  No pictures today.  Just lots of traveling.

Zaijian,
