Friday, July 30th

Today seemed much cooler-- because it had rained and the humidity died a little--so we decided to take it easy again and walk around the market area to explore. We came across some strange sites so we thought we'd share them with the picture link below.

Last night we elected to skip the Chinese food and went to Outback Steakhouse with another family. It was extremely hot and humid. We were drenched in sweat when we got there, but it was worth it. The food was very good and the conversation even better.

Another dear friend sent me some scripture verses that kept me going. In fact, I read them so much that this morning it was my first thought. Thanks, Girls! You know who you are--my been there done that Girls'...Ron read me some sweet comments from the blog that I didn't know were there. I wish I would've seen them shortly after I posted--they were quite encouraging and filled with love! Thanks everyone who did it!!

Tomorrow we fly to Guangzhou which I hear is beautiful. And slower paced. But truly, I have been slowing our pace anyway. Even though we are ready to be home, we are enjoying some things anyway. Jace is definitely happier too. I have already packed most the luggage..lol...can you tell I am ready? We just got Jace's passport today too. YAY!
