Last day in Guangzhou

Well we are in our last day in Guangzhou. We went to a small amuzment park this morning. The girls liked it but it started to rain after an hour. Even though its overcast and raining its still hot and humid. You sweat up a storm just walking around.

This afternoon we head to the Imagration Department to make Rissa a US citizen. After that we get on our train to HongKong to spend the night and take our plane back to the states in the morning. We are suppose to get back into St. Louis sometime around 6pm. If anyone wants to catch us at the airport, give mom a call and she will give you the details.

Yesterday I had to go downtown to get one of our documents certified. We forgot to get it done back home. It was not too hard but it took a few hours to take care of.

The group was suppose to go on a park/museum excursion but we were the only ones to show up for the trip. So our guide took us to a local walking park to let the girls run. They got to play on a playground and we got to feed the carp. Rissa really likes ice cream and it tasted great on such a hot day. Its only June here and its already unbearably hot. Last time we were her in August and it gets even hotter.

We had our group dinner last night. It was a more traditional Cantanies style dinner. Very good but the girls can only behave for a short time before its time to move on.

We are looking forward to getting home. We need to get the girls on a schedule and get some discipline instilled.

Talk to everyone soon...
