Bringing home a blessing

China Adventure Day 4: Flying to Guiyang

This morning we got up early and drove with our group to the Beijing Airport. I am SO thankful for the awesome people in our travel group. Two other couples will be in Guiyang with us adopting little girls. The rest of our group will meet back up in Guangzhou on Saturday. Our flight from Beijing to Guiyang took about 3 hours, and then we drove to our hotel. I was surprised how big of a city Guiyang is! After we arrived at our hotel, our group went to lunch at a great little restaurant where we ate a ton of food for just about $6 per person. We explored the city a little and walked to Wal-Mart. It was quite the experience! The Wal-Mart here is underground! The six of us got a LOT of stares and some photos taken of us when walking around Wal-Mart. I don’t think they see many Americans here.
 
We unpacked our suitcases since we’ll be here for five days and set out all of Selah’s toys and her backpack we’ll be giving her on Gotcha Day as well as the gifts for the orphanage officials and Selah’s foster parents. We walked around the city a little more later in the afternoon with Zach and Rebecca (another couple adopting with AWAA) and found a pizza place for dinner. It was so nice to have a taste of familiar food again.
 
Tomorrow we meet Selah at 2:30 pm, which is 2:30 am for everyone back home. We are so excited! Our next post will be with pictures of Selah in our arms. Please keep praying for her and her transition. Her whole world is going to be turned upside down. Pray that God will give her peace and comfort. Pray for Selah’s foster mother, too; as we have been counting down the days with excitement until Selah is ours, she has probably had a countdown, too, but hers probably isn’t without sadness. We are so thankful to her for the care she has given our girl for the past year.

Since the invention of the bicycle, people have used this environment-friendly vehicle, as a thrifty way to travel and get in touch with the culture of the land. Today most bicycle tours are package offerings, serving very little to benefit the pocket, but give the same experience of exhilaration.
