Sunday, July 27, 2008

Today was another free day. Rose took us to a city park. We arrived by taxi and then took a little boat ride to get to the park itself. It was very beautiful and well kept. The pictures will speak for their selves. We also heard some music with some very interesting instruments. Many of the people are so kind. We saw 4 brides and were able to get some pictures. Many families were walking around enjoying their selves. Except for the heat, we had a very nice time. After taking a taxi back to our hotel, Cristen, Rose and I went to pick up Chinese take out to eat in our rooms. Ashley, Madilynn and I took a nice afternoon nap. For dinner we went to the hotel buffet. We then went on a walk to the town square. People were everywhere! Activities were going on all over the square with many families just enjoying being together. We saw kite flying, skating contest, dressed up dancing groups of children, acrobatics and much more. After about an hour we headed back to our room. Tomorrow will be our last full day in Jinan.
