Lights at Night


This is me saying bye-bye to my bunny Bella on October 31st. I'm pet sick. It’s like being homesick but you want your pet. I guess I’m really bunnie sick for Bella.




Today, we went to the White Swan Hotel in Guangzhou, China but it was such a long trip. It was a 1 hour train ride and then a 30 minute bus ride, but it took four hours. How did that happen? The train was delayed and we had to wait an hour for the bus. We ended up being the only ones on the bus and there were only seven other people in our section of the train.





The lights at night are a beautiful sight. Or should I say, with the 13 hour time difference, the lights are in the morning for you. We were walking back to the White Swan and we decided to take a detour through Shamian Park. We just happened to be there at the right time to see the beautiful lights and lanterns.






This is a neon boat on the neon part of the Pearle River. Buildings, boats, sidewalks and trees were all lit up with beautiful reds, greens, blues, purples and everything. Especially green and red.



These are trees lit up with green lights. You might think they are fake but they are real and they were all over the edge of the Pearle River.






This is a close up of one tree.







These are the lanterns along the edge of the river.







This building was covered in neon lights. The circles were popping out of the middle, expanding, disappearing and coming back again in different colors.








Also we have been walking sooooooooooo much ~ just look at my new “white” shoes.









That's it for today! Tomorrow, I will meet Zhi!! (For the story of Zhi, see my first post.)

Dear Allison,

I totally understand Bunny/pet sickness!

It is great to see you smiling even though travel in China is unpredictable! I can only imagine the stories you and Mom have to share. It is also great to see that the White Swan with the memorable waterfall is well and that the lights are as brilliant as ever! How is the breakfast buffet? I hope you had fun there too.

We're headed to UNH with your Dad and Lia tomorrow ... even if it is raining!

Looking forward to hearing about your time in Hong Kong Disney ... and all the other sites you are enjoying.

Take good care, love the Mottas
