*apologies for sloppy writing - am falling asleep as I type :) Typically with adoptions outside of Guangzhou, families spend several days in their child's home city, to tour and "do paperwork," but our flight schedule set us back that we spent only 24 hours in T's city, which is very sad as it is quite beautiful l. In the center there is large breeding center of pandas and so, with limited time, we jumped at an opportunity to spend the morning there. It was hot, as in don't leave your bone at all costs summer in Arkansas kind of hot, but we trudged through the thick forest of bamboo despite the sweating. T alternately shut down and became interactive, playful and smiling. He does not seem to be favoring one of us *relief*. We are fairly certain he was rarely told "no."
We spend the afternoon doing paperwork, more on that later, and then took T on his first plane trip to Guangzhpu. He did quite well! Settled down and zipped/unzipped his backpack repeatedly and played with stacking blocks. We landed late this evening and now everyone is sweetly snoring away.

Sorry you did not spend more time in Chendu. However, onward to Consulate and then homeward bound. Glad T settling in so nicely! Love being able to watch your journey.
