Yesterday was Asher's last day in his hometown of Guiyang. We started off the day skyping with this crew.
I miss them like crazy.
It finally stopped raining, so we were able to get out and walk around more.
We stopped for some dumplings on the street. Asher slept through the first half of lunch.
Then we had to check out of the hotel and head to the airport. Our flight was delayed so we got to wait there for 6 hours. A very long day. Asher was a champ through it all. They had an awesome kids play area at the airport, so it was fun to see Asher just being a kid after hanging out in a hotel room all week.
We had our first episode of little old ladies swarming us at the airport, pointing and talking very heatedly about his leg. My mama bear instincts wanted to be angry for their reactions, but I know it's a different culture, so I just walked away, a little heartbroken for the things our little guy will endure at times. We finally got onto our plane and arrived at our hotel around midnight. This is how everyone felt!
Today we had our medical appointment for the US consulate. They do a basic medical exam on all immigrants to the US at this office before visas can be issued. There were A LOT of adoptive families there, so it was a little overwhelming but we got through it.
Looking forward to a little downtime this afternoon. Tomorrow we get to explore the city some more before our consulate appointment Monday.
