Day 12- A shopping here we go!





Hello everyone! Day 12
We had a free day. Echo and Shinko went to the U.S. Consulate this morning to submit all of our paperwork. She was just here and everything is in order. We are ready for tomorrow. We bought Kimberly a special dress for Tuesday. She will be dressed in pink.
We met Kerry and Doug and Chrissy for breakfast. Then we went to Shamian Island. It is a 6 block walk. It was cool this morning when we started.
We went to the White Swan to look around and finally found postcards... I was going through withdraw. It is really pretty there. We stopped in several shops along the way. Out by Lucy's people were taking dance lessons and also some ladies doing a fan dance. Fun to watch. We ate lunch at Lucy's. It is an outdoor cafe. Famous place in the adoption world. I ordered a baked potato and corn on the cob. It was good. Mark stuck with a hamburger. We are so so ready for ice cold diet coke. Most of their pop in lukewarrm or hot served with no ice.
Kimberly is a good shopper. She slept most of the time. We are getting a etching done of the two kids together. We can pick it up tomorrow.
We are back in the room to cool off and regroup. We are going to the Jade and Pearl Market this afternoon. Pizza Hut for supper.
Tomorrow we are free in the morning and then we have the consulate appointment at 4:00 p.m. The last thing and the paperwork will be finished and Kimberly will be ours. The adoption w0)ill be finished.
Enjoy the photos! (Kimberly sunning herself was from Sunday.)
Love to all,
Anita, Mark and Ryan
