We were up at 4 a.m. for an early morning flight to Shenyang. Shenyang is a city of about 8 million with an unbelievable construction boom. New town center type communities and shopping malls. Even golf courses under construction.
Our guide, Maggie, was so excited to see us again she ran to the glass security area. She is outside the glass.
PAT DRAWS A CROWD at the airport showing off the grandchildren's pictures to Chinese travelers. They were very interested and happy to see that we are Avery's Grandparents. When they here nei nei, the word for Grandmother in Chinese, they get a big smile on their face.
Shenyang will host the soccer games for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The picture at the top right is the Marriott Hotel with window washers hanging from ropes.
When we arrived at the Friendship Hotel in Fushun Mrs Zhu and Mr Zhou, the Directors of the orphanage, were in the lobby to meet us. The hotel had been completely remodeled since our last visit. We will head for the orphanage at 8:30 a.m. and will post later.
