Free Day















Wednesday was the first day that we had totally free, no appointments, paperwork or tours. It was great being on our own schedule.













In the morning we walked to the Nanning People's Park, which is about 2 blocks behind the hotel. It was absolutely beautiful. Very lush and green, clean and relaxing. There were quite a few groups of elderly people playing instruments, singing and playing cards or checkers. There was an area of the park that was for children, with amusement rides and game vendors. And there was another area that had goats, rabbits, peacocks and pot-belly pigs. Even though the temperature was 92 degrees and high humidity, it was a much-needed break from the schedule we had been keeping. And Ella took to the stroller like a champ (we checked out a stroller at the hotel front desk), which gave our backs a much-needed break from her 22 lbs of weight!
















The rest of the day didn't go so well due to the grieving that I wrote about in the last post.

Hang in there. Parenting is like the Peace Corps, “the toughest job you’ll ever love.” You guys are great parents – look how wonderful Ian is. Ella’s blessed to be chosen to share her life with you. You are in our prayers.
