This morning, we took Georgia back to the medical clinic for her TB test results. Thankfully she tested negative! After that, we went to the Guongzhou zoo, which was a lot of fun! Georgia loved all the animals--especially when they made noises! There were all kinds of animals!--including gorillas, monkeys, zebras, a panda, tigers, leopards, lions, a rhino, hippos, kangaroos and more. It was a lot of fun.

She loved the monkeys!
      This afternoon, we took her swimming at the hotel pool. It'...

    Today we went to Shamian Christ Church on Shamian Island, which has been there since the 1800s, and enjoyed a very nice service in Mandarin and English. Georgia slept through most of it :) Afterwards we went to a pearl/jewelry bazaar/market/"mall"--5 floors of wholesale jewelry! It was great, but pretty overwhelming!
    Georgia is a wild little girl! We call her "bullet" :) She laughs, giggles and screeches all kinds of little words, and talks up a storm! She is very independant, and stu...

    Georgia is very busy! When we go down to check email at the Business Ceneter in the hotel she occupies herself with going through other peoples purses :) ripping leaves off plants and running around. She loves jumping on the beds and climbing on the suitcases and tables.

We visited a park where there were monkies roaming around. They were pretty cute! ...

    Today, in the morning, we walked down along the sidewalks near our hotel next to the river. We could see a bunch of stands and people and so we wanted to check it out. It turned out to be a sort of special market, held once a week. It was pretty neat! Most of the food stuff they were selling we couldn't even tell what it was! There were stands selling towels, stands where people were getting dental work (!?!) and tons of herbs. It was pretty cool!
    Later on we went to a museum about Gui...
