A Day To Soak It All In

Dinner last night was fun. From some of the pictures you can see that kids had a good time at dinner too. Today was leisurely day. We went to a museum today about the different ethnic groups that make up the Guangxi Province; and bronze drums that the area is known for. There are 46 million people in the Guangxi Province and about 6 or so different ethnic groups. While we at the museum they put on a show of some of the ethnic dances. At the end of their dances they got volunteers from the crowd to participate in a marriage dance. Mr. Pinson was selected to participate and did a great job. Also their daughter Ryan participated as well. We enjoyed the museum.
Today, Meg (Steve's Step Sister) also had to return to Harbin China. It was great having her here and she was very helpful. Since she is an American that speaks fluent Mandarin, some one thought that we were VIP's. Apparently only VIP's have American guides! Well we will miss you Meg!
Oh, we have seen a wedding here like everyday! I asked our guide Michael if that is normal here. He said that it is and that the brides and grooms that we have seen were married at the Civil Affairs office and have the ceremony later. We saw some couples taking wedding pictures in the park area around the museum. I snapped a quick picture. Well, we have 2 more days until we get Su Su and Danielle's passports. Once we get them we will be off to Guangzhou! I will update you more on our trip later. Enjoy the pictures!
