Journey Day 9 - Sophia Day 4

We had another great day. Everyone is well and healthy and so far none of us has gotten sick. Nanning is not considered a tourist town so there are not a lot of attractions to go and see. We went to a museum today and it was good but this was the hottest day we have had and everyone was miserable from the heat. We ate a Pizza Hut and it was very good. Pizza Hut is right next to a mall that was having a 50% off sale as you can see from all of the motorcycles. We went back to the hotel and ate dinner then went for a walk along the lake and saw a beautiful fountain show.

Having fun here in GA, how much fun are you having in China? Looks like a lot...the China Hut and all! (Pizza Hut) You're baby sister looks like a lot of fun! Can she say anything yet? Is it in Chinese or English? It looks like you're able to sleep in even with the time change. Can't wait to hear about your trip.
