Our appointment date with the U.S. Consulate had finally arrived! This is the date that we received Ellie's Chinese passport with her U.S. Visa stamped in it. This U.S. visa gives her permission to legally enter the U.S. and, upon arrival, she automatically becomes a U.S. citizen (thanks to Bill Clinton and legislation he passed in 2000...I miss him as a president!).
Immediately after the visa appointment the majority of our group left the country to travel back home. We didn't, however, as our travel plans had us staying in-country for another day. Since we had no one to hang out with, we went to the local street vendor and purchased a copy of Valkerie (the movie with Tom Cruise) to watch after the kids went to bed. It was a mellow ending to a crazy China excursion.
