Yuntai Garden

Our travel group went to a beautiful place today in Guangzhou called "Yuntai Gardens."  It was a great place to get away from the bustle of the city and relax.  The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and they had lovely areas to stop and rest near small waterfalls and ponds.  There was an area for the children to play with statues from famous cartoons like Kung fu Panda, Spiderman, Hello Kitty, the Incredibles, and Mario Brothers.  There was even an area for Adam to stop and play basketball for a moment.  As you can tell, it is warm out today since Adam and I are wearing our shorts.  We are so glad we saved our one pair for this outting because it honestly felt like summer here.  The temperatures were in the 80's today.  There are many families that only packed jeans and they were sweating at the gardens.  The local Chinese people are bundled in coats and jackets and look at us as if we are crazy. 

We are enjoying our time here in Guangzhou, China, but we are anxiously looking forward to returning home.  There are many things we enjoy here, and there are many things that are not so pleasant.  We miss our dogs and our families and can't wait to get Brandon home to start getting comfortable in his new surroundings.
