Packing and Train to Hong Kong

This was our last day in Guangzhou.  The last day is always kind of a bummer, partly because you will have to say goodbye to new friends and partly because you have to spend the majority of the day packing!  But it's also good because you are going HOME!

We wanted to have Dawson blessed at the Six Banyan Temple like we did Meighan but we found out that it was the beginning of the lunar month so there would be lots of people there.  We could get a taxi there but it would be difficult to get a taxi back.  So we just hung out at the hotel.  At one point we had a group picture taken.  Later on we hung out more as we waited for checkout time and time to pick up our child's visa.  Then most of us boarded a bus to the train station to take a train to Hong Kong.

The train was an experience!  We have really no pictures of Hong Kong because we got there after dark and we were all very tired and just wanted to get checked in and get to bed!

Arrangements like these were all over the lobby
