Tonight, Saturday, we went out to our first dinner here with our fellow families. It was great food and fun, chopsticks and all. We ate at a round table with a spinner in the middle so that we could all share the different dishes. On the way out, we were introduced to a menu item (which we didn't order) which had to do with a deer and his. . . uh. . ."antler". We have a great group of couples. There are four of us couples, all representing a cross-section of America. We are from Seattle(kinda), Spokane, Tennessee, and New York. We're really glad there are some other first time parents in the mix. The pictures above show the view out our window of our hotel; notice the water fall. The hotel is very nice. Lori and I found out that 10 million people live in Guang Zhou. The third picture shows Lori (she wants me to note: tired after two days of travel) and the window of our hotel and the many high rises that dot the landscape. It is interesting (and kind of sad) to see the contrast of the luxury hotel and the stark accomodations of the so many that live here. The middle picture shows a seemingly happy couple that are actually quite scared of not knowing what to do with this beautiful daughter that they are about to care for. . .
