Farewell China!

Today was our last day in China.  Early tomorrow morning we start on the long journey home.  Three plane rides and about 24 hours will pass before we will post here for the final time.  The only item on the agenda today was picking up Ben's immigration visa.  The rest of the day was "free time".   The one thing I love most about China is their public parks.  This morning we ventured down a few blocks from the hotel to walk down a street full of "local" color and to spend the rest of the morning at the park on the lake.  This afternoon Ben and I hung out in the room while Dave and Leah went swimming.  It's hard to believe that we have been here 15 days already.  I guess time really does fly when you are having fun.
