Shamian Island


The weather is hot and uncomfortably humid, we will be going to the pool after Sen Lin's nap and a group picture of all the kids on the famous White Swan Hotel red couch. Thousands of adopted children have taken pictures on this couch.

There is a water fall and koi pond in the main lobby of our hotel. Sen Lin really enjoyed watching the fish. Then we went to Starbucks were he pouted a bit b/c he wanted Josh's coffee. It was a beautifully decorated Starbucks with a wonderful veranda and comfy furniture.

We are on Shamian Island, it only about 3/4 of a mile long but the buildings and the trees remind of me the old south. Lots of tall trees with vines, sweeping veranda's, flowers and water fountains.

  1. geez girl, i've been busy here! probably not so much as you, but busy nonetheless...

    either way, i'm getting sooooooo excited for you guys to get back to the states with your son already!!!! its almost here!!!!!

    i'm really loving the blog and all of the pics. i'm eager to hear about all of your adventures in detail!

    i was relieved to hear about your dad, and i think it was probably for the best. perhaps a "time is of the essence" situation, you know?

    pissed that i missed your skype call...but like i said, not too much longer until a person to person chat time. be thinking about what you'd like to eat!
