Day 5 - Guiyang

Today was an off day of any official meetings or tours so it was nice to relax a little.  We wondered around, keeping close to our hotel because this city is easy to get turned around in.  You have to go down stairs at most corners and go under the street to get to the other side.  And in these tunnels are flea market types of shops...it's crazy.  If you don't come up the right steps, you are all turned around.  It was very old and poor the way we went.

Later our guide David took us in the other direction and it was night and day.  Much more modern and nice.  He walked us past an old temple and through a park and ended up at the oldest building in Guiyang.  It was a nice evening out and saw some neat parts of the town.

As I read your blog post this morning, Steven Curtis Chapman's song "Meant to Be" is playing and it gave me goosebumps to see your PERFECT little girl holding you and Grandma's hands ... knowing that she was MEANT TO BE in your beautiful family! I hope the whole journey is easy-peasy for you ... for us the first couple of months had a lot of rough moments ... but just keep holding on to the knowledge that God planned this so perfectly for you! What a beautiful plan God had! Keep enjoying the rest of your journey ...!
