People's Park of Nanchang

Today we visited one of Nanchang's largest parks.  The Chinese use the parks as recreation facilities.  Each park contains exercise equipment as well as a large covered pavilion for playing badminton or tennis.  We saw groups of people dancing, singing and just enjoying the outdoors. 
 
For dinner we ate at an Italian restaurant.  The food was yummy and reminded us of home.  The taxi ride back to our hotel was frightful.  Several pedestrians almost became hood ornaments.  The taxi driver would swerve the car at them instead of away from them.  Luckily the people were quick on their feet.  I had to close my eyes most of the ride.
 
Sophia's personality is beginning to emerge more each day.  She is starting to smile and laugh.  She does great during the day, but nights are extremely difficult for her.  She will cry uncontrollably for several hours.  She wants so much to be comforted, but struggles between laying her head on my shoulder and then trying to push away from me.  The first two nights she was so upset that she threw up.  Luckily, the vomiting has stopped. She however continues to grieve and although necessary, it is heartbreaking to witness.  Please keep her in your prayers.
 
We leave for Guangzhou today, the final leg of our journey.  We will be meeting up with 5 other families from our adoption agency.  It will be nice to be together.
