China Trip - Tuesday Morning 11/25

Well, I'm recovered from my rotator cuff surgery and back to posting pics from our China Trip. I'll try to be more timely! I think Terri has given up the blog for Facebook.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Chongqing. Here is a view from our hotel room looking down towards the river. It is almost always overcast in China.

Here is our group gathering for the days activities. On the agenda for the day is a visit to the local zoo in the morning to see the Panda's and then off to the adoption center for a chance to see Anslee's paperwork.

At the entrance to the zoo, there are locals selling their goods, much like at the Great Wall they are very aggressive. As you can see the kids talked me into getting them something.
Here is a close up of one of the Panda's. They just sit there and eat bamboo. It is amazing how close we could get to them.

Here is a hippo. What you can not see is the hippo on bottom! I like to call it:

The humpy, humpy hippo's!

Andrew did not care for this.

There was a guy doing Tai Chi with a sword.
He taught Andrew how to "bust a move"!
I had to put in this pic of one of the little girls from our group. She was the cutest thing!
I don't quite know why, but the Chinese LOVE Caucasian boys. These girls saw Andrew and his friends and had to have their pic taken with them. They were so excited.

Andrew and Anslee get a souvenir.

This guy was selling pets?
