Whine Wine?

Ok, I promised I'd stop whining about Changsha, so this post is going to be short. All I can say is "Hooray hooray, tomorrow's the day!" We are leaving at 10:00AM to go to Guangzhou. How I wish and pray that plane would take us home, but it won't. We did get Hope's passport tonight, so she can leave this country, but we need to get her Visa, hence the week wait at our next stop.

Today was hard for all of us. Poor Hope was up a lot of the night with some very "interesting" diapers(we pity the housekeeper) and then she was very cranky all day due to the arrival of some nasty looking molars coming in. Once again, we did not leave the hotel, so we'll just say our patience is at everyone's limit and leave it at that. Plus the guy at the liquor store is making out on Tsingtso sales this week.

Our group did rally around 4pm and one of the friends of one of the moms organized pizza and bowling for us. If you recall, on one of our earlier blogs, there is a bowling alley right here in this gilded cage! It was very nice, but I have to say, my heart just wasn't in it, neither was my game as I won the worst bowler award, but it's OK, I'm used to it!

I am thankful however, that this city, as challenging as it was for us, gave us our precious, sweet, little Hope. They say it takes a village, and in her case, it's literal. Goodbye Hunan (it was not really that spicy!) hello Guangszhou!!!

Wow, pizza, beer and bowling! I can't imagine not being able to get out and see much while you are in China. That must be frustrating. Hope is looking so sweet and happy. Sorry to hear about the painful molars. Hurry home, but try to enjoy Guangzhou!
