Today was much more eventful than yesterday. We (our travel group) left out at 9:00 in the morning to tour Eling Park and The Chongqing Zoo. Afterwards, we went out to eat lunch and then went to the local Super WalMart to get bottled water, snacks and various other things for our babies.
Eling Park was beautiful. It had quite a few beautiful flowers and trees. There were wonderful views looking down into the city as well. Karen, also, bought two beautiful paintings that were painted on leaves of the Banyon Tree. This tree is a local tree that is grown for decoration and to relax under. It provides wonderful shade.
At the zoo, we toured the Panda exhibit and saw Red Pandas and of course, the Giant Pandas. Living in Chongqing's zoo, is the oldest living Panda in the world.
We closed out the day by all of us going out for pizza at Pizza Hut. We had the American Special (pepperoni and cheese). We have been experiencing several different local dishes that were very tasty. But, it did feel good to eat something a bit more American. I think we are all starting to get a little homesick.

Hello,
Thank you so much for posting your comments and the beautiful photos of your daughter and the scenery as well.
This really gives me a good idea of what it will be like for me next year when I travel to pick up my daughter!
Again thank you and God Bless!
