We have had a really relaxed Sunday walking around the parks and shopping area of Shamian Island. Fun to watch the people of Guangzhou chill on a Sunday morning. Playing badminton in the parks is huge here! Again, who knew? There is also a tradition for the young Chinese couples to have their "formal or western style" picture taken. They later will have their picture taken in traditional Chinese garments and during the wedding ceremony they will wear a third more casual outfit--to party in. The Chinese reception is an 8+ course meal with much drinking, think of it as wedding meets bachelor party w/o some of the more risque invitees.
Emma had a fever last night, but has since recovered and feeling fine. She still has a cough and I still have a cold but we are having fun and looking forward to obtaining Audrey's visa and coming home.
God bless
