Day 15 Consulate and Red Couch

Today we went to the US Consulate to apply for Mayah's Visa.  The last piece of the puzzle to bring Mayah home.  We will receive the documents sometime tomorrow!   After the appointment was over, it was a free day!  We were able to keep Mayah on a bit of schedule and today was great.  She was able to get her afternoon naps in and then went down pretty easy after her dinner!  Ahhhh.  What a difference a day makes.  In the afternoon today we went over to the White Swan Hotel on the island here to take photo's of the kids on the red couch.  It has been a tradition now here for who knows how long to take photos of the new kids on the red couch, so of course, keeping with tradition, that is where we went today.   Tomorrow, our last full day in one City here in China!   Yay.  Saturday we leave for Hong Kong, and then Sunday we come home!!!  We can't wait to introduce Mayah to everyone!  This has been a LONG, difficult, amazing 2.5 weeks in China.  The county is fantastic and we have enjoyed our time here, but we are ready to come home.    Here are a few photos of the day.
