leaving Changchun

Well, it's Thursday night here. One last post in this crazy room full of gamers smoking away. I've once again attempted posting some pics on line but I don't think it worked. (Tammi, I just emailed you with pic numbers and the site but I don't think there will be much there.)
We had a slow day here and we are ready to move along. We went to the city square to fly kites but there wasn't much wind. We swam this afternoon but couldn't get Joe to even put his toes in! We are leaving the hotel tomorrow moring at 6 am for an 8:20 flight to Guangzhou (about a 5 hour flight). We will miss our Holt rep who has been helping us here. Her English name is Jenny and she has been fantastic. She is very good with Joe and I know he will miss her too. She's been able to communicate things to him that we just can't. Simple things a 5 year old needs to know like how long we'll be at the hotel, when we're going to the USA, the fact that he needs to share, swimming is safe and fun, etc etc etc.
He is still a happy kid but we did get some tears today when the whole idea of sharing came up. He does have a few things to learn.
Thanks for everyone's comments!
(we did not get Gabby's)
I'll try to post from Guangzhou tomorrow night!
