Guilin Day 1

Loving today as it is very low key. Slept in this morning which was much needed.

Went to one of the local famous restaurant where we once again had a feast. Keara and I were happy since there was some corn we could eat.
Kailei and Zeb are more adventurous. Zeb is the official taste tester and let's me know if us know if we would like it.

Next we headed to a local art museum where the kids did a little painting. We also received a painting demonstration by a very famous artist around here.

Our last stops for the day included Elephant Hill and to see the only existing pagodas made of metal.

Still with more hours then we have ever had free, we went back the hotel for some pool time. Th kids were thrilled and so were we. Jeanne and I visited the local department store whose layout I decided I like better than Park Meadows because it is based on height so you can visit numerous stores by just going up to the next floor. Didn't require a whole lot of walking.

We are on our own for dinner. I think the McDonald's is too far to walk so we are heading to KFC. Yum!

Miss everyone and miss Colorado's dry air.

Just got caught up on all of your entries over the weekend. You've had quite the adventures - in more ways than one! So glad Keara is feeling better and that you all got a little down time. Love the pics.

Sam says she misses Keara so I know she'll be looking forward to seeing her when you return and get onto local time.

Finally got some rain here in Parker after too many days of high 90's and triple digit heat!

Love to all.

P.S. You are in Sam's part of the country. She's a Guangxi baby :)
