Waterwheels and Laundry

THE SUN IS OUT TODAY!!!

We spent the morning at a park dedicated to waterwheels. The engineer is featured at the entrance (of course) and there are waterwheels large and small. WE enjoyed this day a great deal. The park was beautiful and located right on the Yellow River. At one time there were hundreds of waterwheels on the Yellow River here at Lanzhou. Afterward we had lunch in the room and Hui had a nap. Dinner was back at our favorite restaurant.

The fun thing of the day was making paper airplanes and flying them around the room. A hotly contested session of “hit the balloon in the hall” followed.

We look forward to leaving for Guangzhou tomorrow. We spend most of the day here then check out of the hotel at 2:30 PM for a 5 PM flight. We are a bit tired of waxing philosophically and just want to get on the road. We’ll save the philosophizing for later. All the best to everyone at home. We wish you were all here to share this with us, especially Matthew and Shaughn. We miss you guys a lot! See you soon!
