The Summer Palace

Author: Catherine
Location: Beijing
After a breakfast of Trix cereal (and if you are wondering the Trix bunny does not look Asian) we split into groups to travel to either the group home or the baby home. Andy, Jordan, and I went to the baby home where we bounced babies, made funny faces, and ran back and forth pushing Fuquin in his stroller for hours. The other group made up of Sophie, Zoe, Aidan, and Hannah played with the Group Home children at a local big park. At 2:00 the whole group took a bus to the Summer Palace where we were given two hours to explore the lake and paths surrounding it. Most of us decided to rent paddle boats and paddled around the lake in search of the Marble Boat. When back at the apartment we listened to Zoe's Mexican music and were excited and surprised when ten domino pizzas were delivered (HEAVEN)! At this moment, while groaning from eating too many slices of pizza, we are watching the three hour long movie The Last Emperor.
