Exploring Guangzhou...

Today we took a couple of walks around the city to see the sights and stretch our legs.  It was a beautiful day and very busy as it is still the Mid-Autumn Festival.  There are many street vendors selling roasted chestnuts, some other food that is made from a batter poured into a mold shaped like little balls, corn on the cob and coconut milk in the shell. 

We get many looks, but most people are just curious.  Some will say "Hello" and some try to speak to us in Mandarin or Cantonese, but unfortunately, we only know a couple of phrases so they are short-lived conversations:)

We are getting so excited for tomorrow!!!  We meet our guide at 2:00 p.m. in the hotel lobby - I know the day will seem endless until that time, but once we get to leave in that van we will feel so relieved:)  I wonder what Jin Qing is thinking about today...is she nervous, scared, happy, anxious, sad to leave her friends???  Her brothers are so excited for the time they will be able to see her on the computer!

Well, I've got to get Jadyn down for a nap.  Here are a couple of pictures from today -
