It was a pretty great day knowing that it was our last. We woke up and went to the park that is across from the hotel. We have tried it before, but it was so blistering hot that we only lasted 15 minutes. This time we spent a long time walking around and taking in all the sights and sounds and smells of China. The park was so beautiful with many pathways and beautiful surroundings. There were so many people doing Tai Chi and other forms of exercise.
There were book clubs reading in picturesque arbors, singing groups practicing native song, and a band paling traditional music.The cantonese people are much smaller than in the north. I was at least a head taller than most of the men and much taller than most of the women.
We also took the traditional red couch picture today. Ever since CCAI our adoption agency brought the first 6 little girls home in the 1990s, every adoption group has had a picture of all the children from that adoption group on a red couch. There are usually kids crying, and our group was no exception.
We can't wait to see our darling kids. From the time we leave our hotel tomorrow morning, it will be 27 hours to get home. We are so excited. This is our last post from China.
