Yesterday we went to visit the Yuexiu Park. It was very similar Cheekwood in Nashville, just with a Chinese flare. Hope really enjoyed smelling all the flowers.
Last night we went to a local Cantonese restaurant. It was really good but we did not partake of the gigantic earth worms or snakes! Hope does not seem to care what food is served, she will basically eat anything, except snake.
Today we had a "free" day. So we slept in and then we took a cab to the Guangzhou Zoo. It was Abigail and Hope's 1st taxi ride, they really enjoyed it. The zoo was an aesthetically pleasing zoo and most of the animals were familiar, except they had caged Pandas and Chihuahuas. We had difficulty reading the Chinese map so we couldn't find the Pandas until the very end. They were so cute. The children really enjoyed seeing the animals.
Hope is feeling really comfortable with our family. She is joking around, laughing, playing chase, jumping on all the beds and kissing all of us. She has definitely adjusted well with the transition of leaving the orphanage and becoming apart of the family.
Hooray only 5 more days until we are HOME!!!!!!
I have been blessed just reading about your adventures! We miss you lots (especially Rachel!). We can't wait to meet Hope. It sounds like she is so excited to come "home"! See you Sunday!!

Steve had to help me figure out how to post. We've been praying for you all so much, especially with the chicken pox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!So thankful you were able to fly! Hope looks so happy. We are so delighted for you all. I couldn't find when you are coming home Sunday. Can you tell me your flight info and arrival time, or is it posted? Definitely not a computer teacher! Love to you all, Steve and Lynley
