Last Day

This was our last day in Guangzhou.   We leave for the airport at 9:00 am tomorrow.   We headed out to the park after breakfast today trying to beat the heat and the rain.   We were going to go play at the exercise park again.   Ani wanted to bike. 

When we got there,  it was like an outdoor LA Fitness center.   Every single piece of equipment was in use.   The girls had to keep an eye out for an opening and then jump in.  

I am very impressed with the fitness level of older people in China.  There were gray haired men doing pull-ups and gymnastic-like moves on the bar and also whipping around the monkey bars like it was nothing.   Women were out in full force as well doing their reps on all of the different stations.  The badminton and ping pong courts/tables were also full this morning. 

Neela finally decided to take a run at the monkey bars and got some astonished looks as she went back and forth and all around the edges in no time.   She is STRONG! (Refer back to earlier post in which Dave would rather fight me than her.  He is probably right. )

Well, let's all say a little prayer that 1.) we all return safely home to the boys and 2.) HanRui can hold it together on the plane and not screech in excitement too loudly or talk some Chinese traveler's ear off.  We don't want to have to buy drinks for all of those around us ; )
