Visiting a Tomb

Some really nice apartments in Guangzhou. They are not all as nice. We were told by our guide that if you have something that says made in China it was probably made in Guangzhou.

Part of the King Yue museum




A sweet little girl just out of the tub. She was smiling but as soon as she sees the camera she stops!!!


Today we visited the tomb of King Yue. He no longer occupys the space but it was neat to go underground into the different chambers. The artifacts that were found with him were beautiful. This tomb was discovered in 1983 so it wasn't that long ago. Sierra loves being pushed around in her stroller but also likes to get out and walk a little. Of course there is no disabilities act in China so there were many stairs to go up and down. I knew there was a reason that we brought David.
We ate another great lunch at anther cantonese restaurant and had dinner at the Italian restaurant that we love!!!
I hate to tell you all this at home but its 70 degrees today!! I know that is not what you are having at home and I feel a little guilty. ( but not much) We are enjoying everything we are learning and seeing about the place where Sierra was born!

Of course we woke up to the news about the airplane that crashed in the Hudson River. Hopefully by next Friday we will forget about it. Yeah right!!!

Here's a video clip!! Beth, thanks for the camera with video!!!!!! If you listen closely you can hear rher singing. She sings in Chinese and it sounds so cute!!!

You are definately getting a great opportunity with all the sightseeing. Hope David's taking lots of photos for his homework.

Sierra is so cute and looks like she's adapting well being with you. Like Carol said yesterday, can't you come home earlier (I know you can't), we all want to see her!

Take care, will check in again tomorrow!

Love,

Jessica

More videos! They are so great.I love hearing her laugh and sing. Tim wants to know if she is a lefty. He spotted that in one of these clips. Emma and Audrey played for a while in the snow today. They were both so tired afterward. Can't wait to see you,
Love,

I want to see more videos of David and Sierra. I like the part when Sierra and David were playing with each other. I really like the part where Sierra pulls the car back and I like the part when David throws the toy to her. It is funny. Can you send more pictures? We were wondering if you guys put those Chinese cards down on the steps? Or did China put them there? But we don't know so can you tell us please? We love to hear Sierra laughing! She is so cute! We love Sierra when she is singing. Can we hear some more singing please because that would be nice.
Love, Dylan and his Mom

It's such a treat checking in here every day to see more Sierra pictures! What a sweet little personality! The music teacher from Brian's school is in Vietnam right now picking up her daugher, so we've been following her blog as well. Such happy news all around! Maura saw Sierra's picture and said, "Aww, she's so cute!"

Love,
