> Today it was out of the hotel at 9:00 am for a 45 min. car ride and a 1 minute check by a nurse to tell us Annie was good to go !!!
> We then stayed on Shamian Island for the morning and shopped a little. Kim is scoring a lot of kid's "Burberry" clothing......at fantastic prices. My guess is that they are fake.... if not then they fell off the back of a truck and Burberry needs to make some serious changes in their loss prevention department. "Coach" may need to look at their pipeline also, Molly got a great purse and the price was ridiculous. The sunglasses Annie has on in the picture costs $2.50 US. We went all out and bought her two pair since she loves glasses so much.
> After shopping, we went to lunch at a favorite lunch spot for American's who are adopting called Lucy's. They offer American meals like grilled cheese sandwiches and cheeseburgers. It was good and Annie enjoyed it. After lunch it was back to the hotel for naps.......
> Oh by the way.....before shopping today our guide told us to be sure to barter. Kim proudly told me on the way back that the one shop keeper had an item she was willing to sell Kim for 120RMB. Kim offered her 100RMB and the woman would not budge. Kim said she would buy it somewhere else and finally the woman gave in. I told Kim I was so proud of her, she beat that little old lady out of ......$ 3 US........... :)

> Tomorrow is the official oath taking ceremony at the US Consulate !!
> We just found out that cameras are NOT allowed during this ceremony, so all pictures will be out front, both before and after. This rule does make sense to me....... I am sure there are a lot of top secret documents sitting around and our government would surely not want to take the chance that someone would show up posing as American parents adopting a Chinese child and have all those documents photographed........ I am sure there is a hidden bunker somewhere in the building and Tim Myers may just stumble upon it and take a s**t load of pictures with his Sony 25mm Cyber-shot camera........I am sure that it is way too complicated to have a small room with an American Flag that cameras would be allowed in just for a single frigging picture, that would be a logistical nightmare.......yep, the rule makes a ton of sense to me.
