Today was a free day in Guangzhou - no adoption activities! This morning we went to White Cloud Mountain with Connie. The entire mountain (more like foothills) is a national park. We took a cable car ride to the top and enjoyed the beautiful views of the city from the bird's eye view. Kristi really enjoyed the cable car! At the top was a bird santuary. We saw parrots, peacocks, and many other varieties of birds. At one point Kristi was telling the bird to look at momma to have its picture taken.
We went to Subway for lunch. We were suprised to find one by the hotel. Then we went back to the hotel to wash some clothes out. Kristi understands all about washing clothes by hand. We also delivered a few to a local store to be washed. Every local store here does laundry. After that it was back to the park to play for an hour and a half. On the way back, we saw about 5 different couples having wedding pictures taken. Apparently Shamain Island is the place to have your wedding pictures taken. Connie said they take them about a month before the actual date. It is very hot here today. We are sweating just standing around outside. Kristi has been very good until now. We can tell when she is getting tired because, like most children, she starts getting naughty. She became very angry with us when we gave her a carton of milk instead of a soda (and no, we were not drinking it - it was in the fridge in the hotel room - someone should tell these hotel services not to stock the fridge!!) So she had a tantrum over it and we tried to lay her down for a nap. Suddenly cartoons and milk had new attraction and she settled in again. Hopefully the evening goes well.
Glad to see your post. We heard the news of the bullet train accidents on early Sat. morning and were hoping you were nowhere near. Praying for you guys.
