A relaxing day ...

We didn't have any official appointments today. Sonia was up before 6am so we started early and had some play time before breakfast. We then came back to the room and I gave her a bath in her new "ducky". We decided that the ducky would be fun in the room, in the pool, and would make bath time easier... so far, it's working great.

At 9:30, we got on the bus with our group and visited a beautiful garden park in Guangzhou. It was a really fun and relaxing walk and we got some fun (and silly) pictures around the various character statues around the park. Our guide, Grace, is trying to fit in some extra little tours since we're in Guangzhou so many days. It's also great to hear her stories about her family, friends, and growing up here in China... it gives us a nice peek into the everyday life and culture and changes over the last years and between generations.

We were back by about noon, collected our laundry, had some sandwiches in the room, and then went for a quick dip in the pool before Sonia's nap time. She got a little over tired but quickly fell asleep in my arms and is now sleeping soundly in her crib.

We have a group dinner tonight at the Thai restaurant which will be a fun little walk and outing. Overall, a rather relaxing day!

Here's a few pictures from yesterday and today...
