More process, but Starbucks makes it worth it

I've received some comments that some of y'all really enjoy the pictures, so I'll take a hint that my writing isn't up to blog standards, and try to keep the writing short(er).

Today was passport photos (for Grace's US passport, which we'll get later in the week), followed by a trip to the clinic. Every adoptive family in Guangzhou was at the clinic today, so there was a lot of standing in line.















This clinic visit was to confirm that G is healthy and can go back to the US with us. We did have a little bit of a concern, but as far was we can tell we aren't being held back. On
the walk back to the hotel,
we found a Starbucks, where K was able to get her fix in--it's been a while! The brewed coffee was great, but K noted the whipped cream on her frappacino tasted a little diffe
rent than she's used to. La
ter today we'll meet with our agency guide and work through the US side of the paperwork in preparation for more meetings in the coming days. After that it's dinner at Lucy's with some from the group. We're looking forward to it. Here's some photos from today for you to enjoy.






Not shown in the pictures, we noted that there were no less than 6 different "photo shoots" going on with people taking pictures of models in fancy clothes, even wedding gowns, probably for a catalog or something, we guessed. Here's Grace obliging for someone for her own picture.







These last two shots I took for Sam, our violinist. Sam, note that even bronze statues suffer from broken bows occasionally.
