The Pearl River


Our last night in Guangzhou, our group went on a river cruise down the Pearl River.  The plan was to eat Papa John's pizza on a dragon boat.  When we arrived, it turned out that I was supposed to call our guide Joyce the day before to let her know that we were attending the outing, and to tell her which kind of pizza we wanted.   After we rode the bus 30 minutes to the boat, Joyce told us that we did not have any pizza or tickets for the cruise.  I was really bummed!  However, one of the other moms had a sick child, and had to cancel at the last minute, so her sister Christy had come to the cruise alone.  She had a large pepperoni pizza to herself, so she shared with us and we bought her tickets from her.  I was very sorry the other child was sick, but that pizza tasted really good.  It tasted just like Papa John's from college!  And we all enjoyed the river cruise.   The air was cool and the lights in Guangzhou at night are beautiful!

This is me trying to stop Drew from diving into the Pearl River.

Drew was starting to let me hold him a little more. . . . 

But this was still his favorite place to be!
