Saturday in Guangzhou

Today was pretty easy though the weather in Guangzhou is pretty fierce. It was only 96 with seemingly 96% humidity. It feels like walking into a sauna whenever you go outside.
We had a great breakfast at the hotel and Quinn met up back up with the friends he had made in Beijing after they had gone to their respective provinces for their families' babies. They were all glad to see each other...Quinn, Jared, Trent and Sophie.
After breakfast, we had a few official things to do for the US immigration visa; namely a medical exam and a visa photo. The photo was easy though Lilah looks pretty upset in the picture. She doesn't like to sit still for much, not even a quick snapshot. Next up was a visit to a medical clinic for an exam. The exam was done assembly line style with different doctor stations each doing different parts of the exam. It all went by very quickly and Lilah's results were very normal. She is fairly tall at 32 inches but pretty light at just over 19 pounds. She pretty much hated the whole process though.
Once we were done with the exam we walked around the historic Shamian Island in the Pearl River which runs through Guangzhou. Shamian Island has a unique european flavor since it was the seat of the British and French colonial stations back when Guangzhou ws known as Canton.
Later in the afternoon we went back to the hotel and went for a swim in the pool. The hotel has a very nice pool and the water felt great. Quinn's friends Jared and Trent were there as well and they had a great time. Lilah went in the pool as well and she absolutely loves the water. She kept trying to dunk her head under the water. We didn't have the camera with so we'll have to ensure we bring it tomorrow.
