Tues Morning Walk Along the Pearl River

On Tues we woke up early and decided to go for a walk along the Pearl River after breakfast. We didn't need to leave to finalize the sdoption until 10:00am. It was a beautiful day with a great breeze. What amazes me is how many people are outside participating in all sorts of exercise or damce. In the first area we came up to, I heard the music for the Electric Slide, and sure enough, there was a group of folks dancing the Electric Slide. A few feet away from them was a group doing Tai Chi. Quite a contrast in music and style. I stopped after I had counted 10 different exercise groups along the river alone. We went in a few blocks where there is another small park. The girls eagerly jumped on the slide and it kept them busy. Right next to the slide, were more folks exercising and a grop of soldiers that took turns doing flips and turns in the chin-up bars. A little further and we passed some women doing traditional Chinese dance. It was a great way to start the day. After we got back to the hotel, from finalizing the adoption, we relaxed at the pool. We put float belts on both girls. Siena was pretty fearless. She jumped in several times and would go under water but it was clear she really had no idea what to do. Larry tried to slow her down and teach her to kick while he held, but she had enough soon after. We'll have to work on that this weekend.
