There is a little tradition here at the White Swan that on your last day all the babies get their picture taken on the Red Couch. Almost every China family album we’ve seen has the ubiquitous Red Couch Picture.

Today we took that picture and below are just a few snapshots.

I got out and did some shopping today while Jen took a nap with Mei. I got some very nice things. If you ever get here, go to Jordon’s, it’s wonderful. He doesn’t follow you around pressuring you to buy things and he will do your childs name in Chinese calligraphy. Very nice guy to talk to.

We are packing and bought a new suitcase (medium sized) to help spread out the load.

Hey, did I mention we are heading home tomorrow?

Yay!

    Congratulations! I have been watching your blog, and you guys have had the Winter version of our trip, it seems. Fortunately, we didn’t have to bus it to Guangzhou - sounds like you were lucky to get out of there.

    We met Jordan while we were there - had a number of interesting chats with him. We’ll have to prepare notes when you get back.

    God’s speed…
