"Spicy girls" are now in Guanzhou

Chongquing is known for its spicy foods so several Chinese have referred to the girls adopted from that province as "spicy girls." Megan survived the two-hour flight from Chongquing to Guanzhou so we are hopeful for the two flights home. She was a little antsy at the beginning but with a bottle of tomato/strawberry juice from the airline, she was asleep through the landing. Security check was a problem for us all. Arlie had checked the airline rules but it turned out we returned to Guanzhou on a different airline. The group head told us we could take the diaper bags but told us we were not specific enough and should have asked her if we needed to dump the baby bottles and the answer would have been "yes." In the disposal process, we lost part of the curved bottle which was Megan's favorite. Grace, we now really need to get more of those bottles! We took Megan to the playroom at the Westin Hotel where we are now staying and she enjoyed the toys. Tomorrow we will go to church, see part of town, and shop. During the week, we will go to the US Embassy and begin that portion of the trip. I have to go now because I am exhausted.
