Last day in Guangzhou

Today is our last full day in Guangzhou. The weather changed quite suddenly yesterday and was cold and windy. Today was a little warner but still needed to bundle up. We had our last group meeting this morning to go over everyone's travel schedule. In the afternoon, we all took a bus to the Civil Affairs office for the oath ceremony. There were about 45 other families there. The ceremony took all of maybe 10 mins. We also received Anna's passport and visa. It was there that we said goodbye to 2 of our travel families as they were taking the train to Hong Kong to catch their flights home. The rest of us leave throughout the day tomorrow (Weds.) We were already talking about a reunion and visiting each other. I think we've made some lifelong friends. This has been the most incredible trip of my life. And we're bring home the best souvenir. We have enjoyed sharing this experience with you. There was great comfort in knowing that you guys were with us every step of this amazing journey. We'll be home soon!
