Busy Day in Guongzhou

Rachael had her physical this morning, and was pronounced to have a clean bill of health, though we don't think she's gained weight in the last two months (if her prior weight was correct).

Don't worry, she's eating like a horse, and particularly likes congee, watermelon, noodles, yogurt, and ox stomach. OK, she didn't think much of that, but it was fun to write. See picture below of her wailing because someone is between her and food.

Anyway, we had her physical, where she was seen by two doctors and two nurses for the basics, and we did some shopping, then Dim Sum at the Golden Bowl for lunch, where we stuffed ourselves for 99 Yuan ($12.45). After that, a bit more shopping and a nice nap for the whole family, which Rachael started a bit early in her stroller. Note that, like her old man, she gets comfort from a bottle of Diet Coke.

After a nice nap, we had dinner at, ah, the Golden Bowl (which we didn't realize when we picked it for dim sum). Fortunately, we had no repeats, and it was some of the best Chinese food we've had so far. They also threw in a few Vietnamese and Indian dishes, and we topped it off with an ice cream bar ($0.45) and nice swim at the pool with her friend Grace.

What a day!
