Day 9, Sydney Loo Hoo!



Today was a good day! Sunshine, smiles, great food! Finally!! On all counts! We had the final medical exam this morning. Pretty minor stuff. Paid the final payements...and we are done! We just hang now until Tuesday night when we have the final ceremony with Gladney Adoption and the US Cousulate. Then...we are off to NYC on Wednesday.

Sydney and family had a GREAT day. She was very happy and smiling today. A real turn-around from other days. She still has not warmed up completely to me yet. I can't pick her up...but she gives me stuff to throw away. I can just add that to my list of things I do...gardener, curb-side-pickup, and now, butler to Sydney. Oh well. She's comming around!!

The island is a very pretty little place. Full of great restaurants and giftshops. It really reminds us of Florida or something. Not China. Big Banyan trees with moss hanging down on cobblestone streets and side walks. No real traffic. Sweet!

Here's a link to some photos of Sydney in Guangzhou.
