This is a retrospective account of Christmas in China, since it is now 5 days past. From the pictures you can see that the weather is mild and we spent alot of time outside, which is what we usually do. That will be one of our adjustments upon returning home to winter in Wisconsin. Around the Shamian Island are these crazy statues...Lily thought the pug was great to ride and poked curiously at the buxom woman with her toothbrush(not one she uses for brushing her teeth), belonging to the pub. We had lunch at Lucy's, an outdoor spot that is easy to take an active 20 month old. It is one of the only places I'm finding it easy to take an active 20 month old, at this point. Later that evening we joined the other families in our group and took a cruise around the harbor of Guangzhou on the Pearl River. The Pearl River is the third largest river in China. Once home to the river people, it now is a thriving business, hotel and disco area. The billboards I've seen in this part of southern China are huge, so, much of our cruise captured the advertising giants of the area. The one picture I've included from this cruise is of a beautiful suspension type bridge.
I missed being home for Christmas with my loved ones. We'll have alot to celebrate when we return.
