I've really been praying that the weather clears up so that you can enjoy some of your time on Shamian. We flew into Guangzhou the morning after a typhoon had gone through. If our guide hadn't mentioned it, we might not have known. The locals seemed unfazed...like Typhoons just happen all the time around there:) Maybe it compares to living in Florida or North Carolina during Hurricane season.<BR/>That is quite a hike to the medical exam building. I pray things went ok. I have a feeling you were all in need of a nice hot shower upon returning to the White Swan. If you get stuck in the hotel because of rain, there is a big bird cage that Aidan might enjoy. Stand in the main lobby on the second floor, look at the water fall and go left...it's just before the restaurant and just after the red couches. Alayna loved the fish too. I think she would have stayed and watched them all day if she hadn't "needed" to eat.<BR/>Looking forward to your next post from a drier S.I.

If you get a chance - post a picture of the 'north side' of the Pearl - in the canal by the medical clinic - I'd love to see how deep the water is on that side of the island. While we were there the water never got closer than about 10' or so from the top...scary. On the upside - a lot of that water will be 'brackish' - the Pearl is an estuary from the sea and changes levels with the tide - so you may get a break there at 'low tide'!<BR/><BR/>Hugs - prayers (both for your feet and your family!)<BR/><BR/>aus and familyAushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02740211277947404999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751435337498664060.post-72653204286398869372008-09-24T05:58:00.000-04:002008-09-24T05:58:00.000-04:00Oh my, I can't believe your photos.

Our group had to do that yesterday afternoon, too, but I think we got there before the rain picked up because there was no flooding at that point. It started to rain around the time we finished. <BR/><BR/>Shamian is just beautiful. I like our hotel a lot, but it would have been fun to stay on the Island. Your shots from the hotel were something else. We did have to postpone our shopping day today because of the flooding so our group went to the Chen Family Temple instead. We did get to drive by the WS, however! I hope we can go in and see the famous lobby and red couch before we leave. Take care and stay dry!Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00293355038449034824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751435337498664060.post-43163566013539442332008-09-23T23:41:00.000-04:002008-09-23T23:41:00.000-04:00Oh my!
