Halle's first plane ride...

and she slept right through it. We are definitely hoping that is a good sign for our long, long, long ride home :) She was sitting on Sami's lap, of course. She was trying to look out the window as we were taxiing. When the engines flared up she just leaned back against Sami and didn't make a peep. She fell asleep quickly after that and slept until we landed.

We were very excited to see the sun when we landed in Guangzhou. We haven't seen it for 8 days now! We got to the hotel around 5:00 and ordered Papa John's pizza for dinner. It wasn't the same but it sure was a nice change of pace. I've been having some stomach problems and am glad I brought along 5 boxes of Pepto :) I should have just started eating them after every meal as orginially planned. I'll probably start that now. I'm sure (hopeful at least) that I've lost quite a bit of weight.

After dinner we went for a walk around the hotel to do a little exporing and to get some snacks and water. There is a 7-11 across the street! The scenery is just beautiful here. We are on an island so the view from our hotel room is looking down to the river. Everything is lit up with all different colors of lights. There were a ton of boats that look like cruise ships. I'm hopeful we can do something like that. They also have some very nice gardens along the river by our hotel.
