Sunday, July 5th

July 5th, 2009

Today is Sunday afternoon.  Yesterday, we had a day of therapy and then had some cake and ice cream that Debbie ordered for us to celebrate the 4th of July.  It was weird to be in China for this  day.  We called it an early night and went to bed, since we had a big day at the zoo, botanical gardens and lunch today.  Penny got us a large bus and we headed to the zoo, it was so crowded that we had to go to botanical gardens first.  This was basically a large park with a few rides.  Lawrence and Emani  enjoyed themselves.  Then we went  to the zoo, which was different, we saw lots of animals, but no pandas.  And of course, we got lost, with 2 other families.  The language barrier is so hard, we asked for the exit (basically hand signals and saying ”bye,bye”) and they led us tothe wrong exit.  So we had to find our way to the monkey hill to get back to where the bus was.  That was adventurous!  Then we ate at Napoli, an Italian restaurant, which was nice.  We just got back to the hospital to be ready for another week.  This week will be hard for us as 4 families are leaving back to their homes.  Lawrence will have his spinal on Wednesday.  Please help us  pray that  the pain is less this week.
