March 15

We went sightseeing this morning at a local park with a few memorial sites of famous Guangzhou people. The park was beautiful with all kinds of statues, flowers, unique trees, people playing hackey sack, dancing, and tai chi. it was neat just watching the people and seeing the culture of Macy's birthplace. One of the pictures is of Jason and Macy on top of a tower that we climbed to see the city.

After lunch, we returned back to the medical exam to get the results of Macy's TB test. The nurse measured the mark and it was 8 mm. It was negative because the mark was not 10 mm. Thank goodness! I would have loved to see them hold her down for a chest x-ray. We then spent the afternoon doing some shopping at some famous souvenir shops on Shaimin Island. We got Macy a traditional Chinese dress and also got the boys a traditional outfit. (Mom, don't tell them this part!) We had a fun afternoon with some funny stories to tell in person. It would take too long to type out all the craziness. We are going to be seasoned travelers before this trip is over.

We have to stay in our room in the morning because our guide is taking our information to the American Consulate to grant us permission to enter the United States with Macy. We have to stay in our room just in case they have any questions. Then, we are planning on going on the Pearl River Dinner Cruise with our group. That will be fun! :)
