A Day in the Park

Today, while mounds of paperwork are being processed on our behalf, we
had pretty much the whole day free so we went to the People's Park in
Nanning, just a few blocks from our hotel. It is an amazing park in
the middle of downtown with two lakes, tons of people playing music,
dancing, doing tai chi, and flipping their fancy fans, as well as
miles of terraced walkways leading to many new and interesting places,
some of which Jacob, who has been to this park before, directed us
toward, and some he had preferred to avoid; we still want to know what
is atop Monkey Mountain but that will have to remain a mystery unless
one of us ventures up alone. We fed the coy and they were as voracious
as they were gigantic. We also went for a boat ride on the water
equivalent of a golf cart (small battery powered motor, perfect for
folks who want to go slow but who don't want to peddle). Jacob drove
and we live to blog. Aye Aye Captain!
