Benedryl and Guangzhou

Last night I gave Emma Benedryl about 8pm, before bed.... and had a wild, inconsolable child on my hands til it finally wore off at 2am. No kidding. (this is why yesterday's email never got posted) We packed up in the early am, and left for the airport.

We are now in Guangzhou- Emma's ears really bothered her on the takeoff, but she was totally content for the rest of the flight and journey. She loves being out and about, greeting shopkeepers, flirting with others on the bus. The White Swan Hotel is absolutely wonderful, and the area (Shamian Island) has a European flair.. We're very glad to be here. This evening Michelle, Emma and I celebrated our arrival at the elegant hotel outdoor grill/buffet, next to the water, Emma totally enjoying all the food (except the greens)and the evironment- We spent a long time looking at the koi and the indoor waterfall, and she fell asleep very quickly. A most excellent day.

We've been negligent about pictures (I packed the camera away a little too well today), but will remedy this tomorrow.
