Day 9

Hello again from Guangzhou!  Today was a fantastic day with Emma!  We enjoyed our buffet breakfast then walked over to the herb and pet market with our guide.  After that we went to a huge mall (5 stories) where they sold jade and pearls and many other items.  Of course we purchased pearls for Emma when she gets older!  We then went to a Cantonese restaurant to enjoy an authentic meal.  We told our guide Cordelia the type of food we liked and then she attempted to order things we might like.  My mom and I really enjoyed all the food.  After eating we headed back to the hotel.  We were out from about 10:00am - 4:00pm.  Emma did a great job today.  She barely whimpered and had lots of smiles this afternoon.  Her favorite thing to do is hold your fingers while she walks around the room.  We must have gone from room to room for at least 1.5 hours! We decided to stay in tonight since we were out all day long.  It is now 9:00pm and I am ready for bed.  My back is aching from holding Emma!  But I can't complain... she has been sleeping perfectly- all night long!  Enjoy today's pictures.  Thanks for all the comments!  I enjoy reading them each morning when I wake up!
