Conquering Mountains: Xi'an to Guangzhou

If you have visited here before, you can probably see that I have changed the name of the blog again. I started blogging at 4URuthie to tell the story of our journey to adopt our 1^st daughter. I changed it to Mountains for Maggie when we were praying for God to move mountains on behalf of our 2^nd daughter. Well now it is no longer just Ruthie’s or Maggie’s stories. It is now our family's story, and the stories of those we share life with, as we Conquer Mountains together. Both ConqueringMountains.net and 4URuthie.blogspot will lead here.

Xi'an to Guangzhou

Trent left Thursday and we had Friday all day with the just the girls before a late flight to Guangzhou. Why the change in cities? We have to get to the U.S. Consulate to get her immigrant visa and a medical exam.

So before we left, we got to see the old city wall in Xi'an. The air quality was (somewhat) better and so being outside didn't feel like you were sucking the exhaust out of a diesel truck. Here are Ruthie and Sherry on the city wall.

It was a late flight to Guangzhou and Maggie did pretty well on the flight. She was active but we made it. We were late getting in, with arrival time about midnight in our hotel. Can you tell someone was tired?

But she woke up happy and glad to eat breakfast.
