It's been a bit of an adjustment here - no in-room WiFi, for one thing!
So, we have to post and Skype from the sitting area in the lobby of our hotel.
Kaden had his physical exam, and passed just fine. Kudos to our guide, Lilly, who got us to the clinic 3 minutes before a huge crush of adopting families showed up. We were in and out in 15 minutes, while the folks behind us were looking at a loooooooooong wait.
The next big thing for us is a meeting at the U.S. Consulate on Wednesday, and then home on Thursday night. WooHoo!
So, enough writing, here are a few photos!
The view from our hotel room:
Kaden passing the "are you cute enough to be adopted?" test:
Shiamen Island, where our hotel is located.
Playground!!!
A shirt they are selling in lots of shops on the island. I don't know if they mean this as a compliment, or not. . .
Daddy and son at the Temple of Six Banyan Trees.
Yummy noodles!
Swimming at the hotel pool. This is only Kaden's fourth time in a pool - truly, just about everything is a new adventure for him.
Are words needed for this one?
