Moses' First Plane Ride


We made it to GZ.  Thankfully our guide moved us up to an earlier flight since the flight we were scheduled to take was delayed.  Moses did well on his first flight.  Hopefully I can better prepare for our loooong trip home, now that I've seen him on this flight. 
 
Anyway, we are here at the White Swan Hotel.  It is just as beautiful as we remember.  The room is cool (I'm talking about the temp.  -our room in Beijing was H-O-T) and it is refreshing to know we are on the last leg of our journey.  Our guide delivered pizza to us in our rooms.  And, yes, we have Elvin.  :)  We were VERY happy to see him.  God has provided us with two good guides who go out of their way to explain to our son where we are going and what we are doing without us having to ask. 
 
Back to the pizza, having missed lunch I hardly cared what was on the slice I was eating.....at first.  Once I got over my immediate hunger, I had to do a double take.  Our vegetarian pizza had broccoli, carrots, potatoes (raw), and eggplant on it.  Why didn't we just say 'cheese' only?  Live and learn.
 
I've posted a couple pictures of Moses on the plane.  We'll post more tomorrow.  Love you all.  Thank you for your prayers and comments.  The comments help us feel connected.  Thank you and keep them coming!

  1. Humm...Do they even have cheese in China? I can't remember but I know that they did not have it at McDonalds and most Chinese people I know do not like cheese.

  4. I just love his smile :) Your pizza experience reminded me of the one we had in Germany. It was covered in tuna fish and corn and believe it or not it wasn't too bad. Happy to hear that your guide is Elvin. (I've heard only good things about him. Wish we had gotten to meet him.) Continuing to pray for you both and all of your sweet babies.
