Last Day in China

There is an island near Guangzhou that most adoptive families used to stay but the main hotel there is under construction so not everyone stays there now. But the island is known for fun shopping for tourists and we heard it was very pretty so we decided to give it a try. Both rumors were true, we found some great treasures and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We enjoyed watching all of the photographers take pictures of brides and other occasions that we didn't quite understand. Our guide told us that the locals like to take day trips to the island because it has a much slower pace, it's less crowded and its beauty. The Haas family is staying on the island so they showed us their favorite shops and restaurant.

Here are a few pictures from the day:

There are several status around the island but a lot of adoptive families take this picture so we did too...

Xander had a messy lunch and lost his pants :-)










These are a couple of the other statues:











Here are a couple of other quick pictures we took while leaving...
