We are at the White Swan Hotel

On Friday, Mia received her passport. Our business in Nanchang complete, yesterday we flew to Guangzhou, where the American Consulate is located.  This week, we will complete the Visa process, which will allow Mia to enter the U.S.
The White Swan is often called the "baby hotel" because most American adoptive families stay here. It is quite luxurious. As Jeff and I both have bad colds, we're mostly just happy to have a clean, pleasant room to take a nap in!
Mia was diagnosed with an ear infection.  Fortunately, there is an on-site Dr. Who practices Western medicine. Our guide, Veronica, translated for us. (Did I already mention that Veronica is an angel as well as supremely capable?  We don't know what we'd do without her.)
More tomorrow...
