Quian Ling City Park- Nov.7th



































The park was beautiful and surrounded by mountains. We observed 1,000 of people dancing, exercising, and meditating. Faith enjoyed feeding the coy fish which filled the river. The landscape was subtropical with amazing sculptured details. We followed a winding road up the mountain to the Buddhist Temple that currently houses monks. Along the way, we encountered many monkeys and Faith enjoyed a camel ride. I carried her most of the way up the mountain as she seemed intimidated by the swarms of curious locals. It made us wonder what they were saying to her. Unfortunately, Richard did not come as we were unaware of the plans thinking it was another shopping day. We all know what a shopper he is! HA... HA..!!! We enjoyed another tasty group lunch. The food in this province is known for it's spice, giving our daughter the nickname "SPICY GIRL." There hasn't been anything too spicy for her yet. She eats anything and everything we give her. We accompanied dad for dinner at the hotel's Chinese restaurant. He ordered duck which was good and spicy noodles that looked and felt more like night crawlers. After a couple of bites he couldn't stomach the texture. Then we attended a special going away party for the girls given by a wonderful christian family from Colorado(the Bandimere's) that accompanied us and adopted a daughter named Grace.
