The next three photos are of the Imperial Palace in Shenyang. It was a wee bit cold there on Friday! The dog statue has a legend - you rub his head for good luck and his tail to have no regrets. The gold dragons on the building are to provide safety.
The framed photos are made with BIRD FEATHERS and nothing else! They were amazing. Expensive too, but super cool. I have no idea how many feathers were in each.
The photos after that are of the Emperor's tomb in Shenyang. ElleAnna doesn't mind the cold too much, but we wimpy folks found it very chilly.
Then, you will see Elle in a John Deere baseball cap. You can see the climate change in the photo from out front of our Guangzhou hotel. Its green here and no snow! The photos of the three kids were taken in front of the hotel. You cannot have her say "cheese" because as soon as she realizes you are going to take her photo, she dives for the camera in hopes of you showing her the photos on the screen. What a drama queen!
The photo of the herd of people was from this morning's medical exam. What a zoo, but it was fairly speedy.
The last photo is my favorite. She didn't quite realize that I had the camera, so I snagged a shot of her. As soon as she saw the flash though, she came running to see if I had taken a picture of her. Too funny! Look out Bill Clarke!
After the visa photo this morning and her physical, I did the paperwork with our guide for the Consulate Appointment on Monday. She will take care of this, but we had to give her all the information, photos, and documents (not to mention some more cash). We are done for today now, so are heading out to find some groceries and lunch. Tomorrow is sight seeing here in town, which will be fun too. The boys are dying to try out the pool - its outside and on the 8th floor. I'll take photos for you as the view is breathtaking and amazing - not of the boys, of the city! :-) I doubt that Elle will be interested in the pool as a bath is terrifying enough.
Take care and I'll post more later!
Michelle
