Day 3-Nanning's People Park

Just a quick post....we spent most of the afternoon in the hotel room while Siena napped.  We then decided to head up the road and visit the Nanning People Park.  It is an enormous park with ponds full of carp that people feed.  The sign said there were more than 160,000 carp in the ponds which after seeing them swarm like piranhas when the fish food is thrown to them I now believe.  Siena loved watching them come up to the surface.  We did a lot of walking through the park to try and tire her out.  The park is absolutely gorgeous and had tons of activities like renting boats, Ferris wheels and children's rides.  We mostly just walked and people watched, although we also got a lot of stares. 

We then just headed over to the little market and grabbed some water and ice teas.  We discovered that Siena has quite a sweet tooth and loves juice boxes that have green tea in them.  She recognized them today while at Wal-Mart.  It is interesting to learn her likes and dislikes and new discoveries. 

Minwah, our guide/translator/traveling nurse, translated some of the paperwork for us today.  The paperwork was just filled out on Sunday so it was quite recent and it said she likes to dance, sweets, a good party, being outside and playing with children.  She doesn't like dolls, is scared of the dark and is quite cranky when first waking up.  My kind of girl!  Bring on the Match Box cars, woo-hoo!

Tomorrow we are headed on a bus excursion to a mountain near Nanning that is also supposed to have a beautiful park.
