Bringing You Home: Heading Home

We (except CJ) went on the riverboat cruise last night down the Pearl River. The boat was large and very nice. Our entire group ordered Papa John's and ate it on the cruise since our guide informed us the food was bad. It was a really nice evening. They love brightly colored buildings here that change colors, so it was like a light show down the river. It was a lot of fun--definitely the highlight of Guangzhou.

We had lunch today at a Mexican restaurant with our friends, Ryerdan, Michelle, and Zelin. The food was okay. It was just a nice change from rice and noodles with animal parts. :) CJ is feeling better and is eating again, which is awesome. The rest of the day will be spent napping and packing. We leave for the airport at 7am tomorrow!!!!!

Huihui is understanding more English everyday. He's a lover and a fighter. He loves to love, but has a fiery temper. Hopefully, that tempers as we settle into a routine at home and he has a better idea of what to expect. The schedule changes everyday here, so I can understand his uncertainty and frustration.

This trip has really boosted my confidence in people and families. You can tell all nine of the couples in our group really love each other and love their children. All the dads are such good dads. They are all so hands on and don't wait for their wives to tell them what to do. They anticipate the needs of their wives and children. It's been refreshing to see. There's been such a feeling of community amongst our group, too. I really want to hear how everyone is doing when we get home. We've been a family to one another while we were here.

Next time I post we will be home!!!! We can't wait. :)
