As our trip comes to an end I wanted to take some time to reflect upon what an amazing journey this has been. After waiting 5 years for Lucy, nothing could have prepared me for the adventure that these few weeks would have provided. We are so grateful to our guides that helped us along the way so I am going to highlight a few of them.
Yo Yo, our guide for a total of 30 minutes who lead us through the trenches of the Beijing train station. Without Yo Yo, I am not sure we would have made it to Nanchang!
Cocoa, our guide in Xian, she provided us with our first traditional tea ceremony, what a treat!
Then there was our Chinese comedian, Sang, Sang! He took us down the Li River. He ran up and down the boat shouting at us " 5 minutes! Great Picture! 5 minutes!"
Jenny, our guide in Nanchang will always hold a special place in my heart because she brought Lucy to us!
And finally Kelly, our organized, resilient guide of Guangzhou! Without her attention to detail and making sure my paperwork was in order, I may not have come back with Lucy.
I am so thankful to each and everyone of these people because they helped us survive and thrive while we were in China!
I would be remiss if I did not thank all of you who have supported me in various ways while I was away. I appreciate all of you and am thankful to have such a wonderful support system to allow me to make this trip a reality.
We are headed back to Texas. I am anxious to get Lucy into her new home and help her adapt to her new environment. I will keep you updated as we go through Dr's appts and the transition of life in Texas.
I am including one last video that will highlight some of the key points of our trip.
Here's to the memories!
