Saying good bye to our guide, Megan
Today was pack up and say good bye to Gansu, for now. I kept looking out the window, from the hotel, and from the bus, as we drove through town, at the sights and sounds. Full of mixed emotions, that Aurora will be starting a new life in a new strange country, and overwhelmed that she is completely ours now. What a strange process this whole thing is. It is amazing it all falls into place so fast and so easy, and that these little bodies cope with it all in stride, one day at a time, slowly adapting to it all.
I got my first kiss already today!!!! Yay, that made my day, and then some!!!! Still daddy's girl, but I am gaining ground slowly. (faster than Kira at this point).
Our guides took us to a city market, outside of an old temple site. They arranged for name scrolls and chops to be made. Kira enjoyed listening to a local group of singers performing traditional opera.
Our flight to Beijing left early evening, and we arrived at our hotel around 10:45 pm, meeting up with one of the other families in our group. Tomorrow, we have a free day, but some citizenship paperwork to do.
Will update on that later…
Good night for now,
Norma
