After we got back from Safari we decided to cool off in the pool at the White Swan. We spent almost 2 hours there. It's quite nice with the palm trees and it sits right next to the Pearl River (well actually the entire hotel is right on the bank of the Pearl River). The girls seem to have a very good time. I think this may have been the first time for
MeiLi to be in a public swimming pool. She had no idea of how to enter the pool or walk on the floor of the kiddie pool. But she got the hang of it pretty quick. They had so much fun that they did not want to leave the pool. I could have lounged there longer myself but we needed to go so we could get something to eat for Dinner. We ended up taking a long walk down to a Italian restaurant. It was good but I still like Olive Garden (back in the US) better. We got back from eating and I bathed the girls while Mary

Karah &
MeiLi are all turned in for the night. I need to turn in too because tomorrow first thing on the agenda is
MeiLi's complete physical exam. Wan An! (Good Night)
The medical exam was within walking distance of the hotel. On the way back, we saw some little children, probably Kindergarten age, all being moved along by their teachers. The teachers encouraged them to greet us with "hello, hello!". I responded with "hello!" back to them.

Today we visited the Safari Animal Park. I had MeiLi on my back the entire time. I'm not much for zoos but this was better. We rode around on a tram through the park and saw just about every kind of animal you would expect. The park itself is a sub-tropical garden. We saw Pandas too. It got very hot as the day went on. I was glad to get back to the bus with the AC.
