More from Shamian Island


On Tuesday, we did some more touring of Shamian Island and went to the White Swan to take a look at the infamous "red couch". I was amazed that it really is just a red couch...nothing grand, no roped off area with golden lights glowing on it. The red couch is a place that all adoptive parents want to take their children in their traditional Chinese silks for a photo. We will do that later in the week and will post pics then...

Some down time playing with Lily. She loves to sit on my chest and look down and giggle at me. She is so funny.

The island is a wonderful way to finish off the journey-you get to relax in so many ways. Love the squeaky shoe collection!
