Guangzhou Sunday, July 5
Last day before we meet Josie! We had a busy day. A friend of the Loftins (church / hometown friends), put us in touch with their friend, Julia, who is a practicing OB/GYN in Guangzhou. She and her 5yo daughter, Victoria, attended church with us today and then showered us with hospitality as their guests. Julia treated us to lunch, genuine Chinese style (no PF Chang's around here for sure) and then took us to Guangzhou's largest park. The Zhenhei Tower (built in 1380) and the Statue of the Five Goats reside here. This symbol of a herd of five goats is based on the myth of the city's foundation. From the top of the hill and tower we were able to see a good portion of the city as well as a local soccer game in the neighboring stadium (treat!). The remainder of the day was spent shopping for a stroller for Josie, rest and then a stroll before bed. See attached pictures. By the way, the picture with an image of Bruce Lee was a must for me....huge fan of his as a kid.
The picture with the guys in front of our hotel was just for fun. They were peddling hair cuts, and based on the "blond's" style my decision to decline was swift!
We cannot wait to get Josie tomorrow and look forward to sharing with you.
