Sunday

Well it is Sunday night and we are all really tired today. We took a 30 minute ($5) cab ride to downtown Guangzhou. We were searching for Olympic stuff, There were shops in Beijing but we needed to stay under 44 pounds and 1 checked bag per person (we didn't make it anyway) The sports center we went to has the upcoming table tennis world championships and they had a park out side with a couple dozen tables for people to play on. There were a couple of parks, lots of people flying kites. We checked all the shops but no luck. We played at the park for awhile, the parks here are nice, they have a lot of exercize equpment. The only other non asians we saw were 2 German guys (and we saw them later on Shamain Island also). Both Craig and Ruth fell asleep on the way back to the hotel, Ruth woke up but Craig slept for about 3 hours. Our guide (Judy) came over and went over the paperwork she needed for tomorrow and we paid our final fee (we hope). I took a cab to Carrefour to buy more formula (we haven't been able to find hers here in town) Then we took our daily trip back to Shamain Island to eat, pick up our laundry and some of the personalized items we ordered. We ended up taking a cab back as we were all too tired to walk.

Ruthie was pretty funny today, I think she likes the sound of her laugh as much as we do, she kept giving me her foot to tickle, she would laugh like crazy and give me her foot back again. She tests us from time to time with a little fake cry to make sure we are there for her and laughs when we pick her up (not much chance she'll be spoiled)

more tomorrow off to dreamland ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
