Guangzhou Zoo

I forgot to post the pic from the other day in which the adopting families traditionally take here at the White Swan called "the Red Couch" photo.

We visited the zoo today and had a special treat visiting the lions. There was one lion roaring and rather loud too. We could hear from across the park. I had recorded it, but the recording is broken up. I think I will still post a clip so you can get the idea.
On our return from the zoo, we got word from the consulate that all of our paperwork is in order and we're good for the signing tomorrow.
This afternoon we bought our lunch at the deli just outside the hotel and brought it back to our room since it was a little chilly outside.


After having our usual coffee, we walked around a park area, allowed Andrew to play with Emily looking on. Then stopped at a restaurant near the hotel called "Lucy's" which had very good authentic food for a reasonable price. We found that we had to pull our our yuan together and still had to throw in $15 US dollars to pay our bill since this restaurant didn't take credit card.

On our way home, we stopped by a JC Muran Chef restaurant in which, I think I mentioned, has all the tanks in front for you to choose your dinner entree. I suggest those with weak stomach not look at these. I particularly found the water beetle of interest. Along with that is the sandworm, snakes and frogs.

I am in the midst of uploading all of Ana's pics she has taken since last Wednesday. They are quite nice. And though there are many, they are certainly worth going through each and everyone one of them. We have mixed in ones that we have taken. So, when you see a bad shot, you may understand. : )
