After a buffet style breakfast (btw, Abigail is a great eater), we headed out to see some of Abby's hometown of Guangzhou. It is a major city - the capital of the Guangdong Province. Millions of people live here. We visited one of the largest parks here. Rosa (our guide - who is wonderful in so many ways!) told us that Guangzhou has 50 parks. This particular park had a playground/amusement park. We were excited to find some things that Abigail could play on...we found ourselves wondering how long it had been since she had been to play in a park. She had a great time and was tired enough to take a nap after we ate some McDonald's in our hotel room!
We had an extremely quick "interview" for the adoption that afternoon. Then we visited the Memorial Hall, which is built in memory of a doctor that founded the democratic revolution here in China to overthrow the emperor.
We ended the day with an evening meal in a Japanese steakhouse here in our hotel. It wasn't quite the same as back home - we'll have to explain more later. Thank you for your comments, emails, and most of all for your prayers. We can't wait for everyone to meet our precious Abby :)Happy Day Before Thanksgiving to you guys - it's Thanksgiving Day here!
Love

Love the pictures of your beautiful family. Abigail looks so happy. Everytime I get an email or Jill post on your blog, I get tears in my eyes. I am so thankful that I've been able to watch God work in your lives.
Looks like you guys are having a wonderful time! Is Abby from the orphanage in Guangzhou? Because our Sydney is from there.
Abby is a little cutie! Hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving. We have a lot to be thankful for!
It is so wonderful to see your precious girl with her mama and daddy!
Many blessings to you!
