The Monkey Park

Our last full day in Guiyang... I'd be lying if I said I was sad. One week down, one more to go! I am so ready to be HOME and have all of my family together!  We visited the monkey park today... it was short and sweet. There was a beautiful lake with mountains in the back ground and a nice place to walk around. Nate loved getting to get out and run around. He is so funny:) He got to see pigeons and chase them around. He had a ball! Then we went back to the car and drove up the mountain to see the monkeys that roamed free in the park... all I could think about was that lady that got her face pulled off by a monkey in the states so we kept our distance;) We finished the tour at the Buddhist temple. I love learning about Chinese history and culture but as a Christian I just find the temples heartbreaking and I so desperately want to just share Jesus with them:(  Nate fell asleep on the way back to the hotel listening to Mandi Mapes:) He woke up as we were getting out and had a fit. He really liked our driver and didn't want to leave him. He played and cut up with him the whole week. We consider ourselves blessed to have been able to spend the week with him and our guide, Vickie. They took really good care of us and were so enjoyable to be around! Our flight leaves tomorrow at 4:20. Please pray for a safe flight! We will land in GZ at 6:05.
