We head out to the museum in Guilin to meet some of the people porpor knows. These people had been very helpful in helping us find Huang Yao material. They will be building a new one soon. The old one had models of old Guilin, some of the tribes that live here.
The temperature under the large trees was so much cooler. Allan started to look around to do action shots, where he would jump in the air, he is funny and the kids love him. The kids played with all sorts of sand toys but instead of sand, they use a type of husk.
We could not find the guy in charge of the paddle boats and as it was nearing lunch time we headed across the street to eat at a restaurant that faced a lovely big pool of lotus. Too bad the lotus leaves were not reachable as it would have been fun to see the water run about the leaves.
In the afternoon, the kids headed for their first Wushu class with other local kids, Ike was tired and it seems did 2/3s of the 100 minute class. Then we played catching on the grounds. We also bought them the white shirt and pants with the Children’s Palace written on it. We get a lot of stares as Nate and Ike are not quite Chinese looking and although they have similar haircuts as the local boys, their hair is a bit curly and seems to stick to their heads while the local boys hair just stand straight up.
