(Okay, I will add photos later...the camera battery is dead but I don't want to forget what happened when)
Today was the first day I felt that we didn't have to rush to be somewhere in the morning. There was an optional tour that we opted out of and instead took our time to eat breakfast and then stroll around the hotel area. We found a few shops and headed toward the park that we had heard about. I had no idea how huge it was! It is absolutely beautiful and goes on forever. We strolled around and really enjoyed being in some semblance of nature. China has a lot of parks because the homes are so small. People come out to the parks to play games - everywhere from badminton to chess, to sing and dance and exercise. But I have not seen anything like this in the other parts of China. We didn't come prepared to stay too long and ended heading back to the hotel before we could really explore too far. I hope to get back there before we leave.
Then we took Mia Jade to the pool for the first time. It was not long lasting; she liked it okay at first but got very clingy then scared so we didn't stay too long but it was a nice introduction.
We finished the evening with a group dinner with everyone from our travel group. It was a nice evening together but the food was not too good. The food has been a little more challenging than I had expected. But it as nice to all be together and share how our experiences are going. Overall it was a pretty low key and relaxing day. I am getting a bit homesick though. I miss my boys.

I SOOOO hear you when you talk about the food being challenging! I struggled there too. But you just have to remind yourself you didn't go there to eat :) You'll be having a steak in no time! As for the parks, I couldn't agree more. They are amazing!!!!
