Tonight we took a dinner cruise on the Pearl River. The river is the largest in southern China and has a long history. Today the river front is covered with all types of buildings and hotels. We set sail when it was still daylight and traveled around until well after dark. It was such a great thing to do. After 9 days in the same hotel we really needed a change of pace and this was perfect!
We had a great table right up against the window so we were able to eat and enjoy the view. The buffet itself was quite interesting. Everything from stewed pork bellies to chicken feet was served. Bobby was adventurous and ate a dished labeled 'fresh meat' while I stuck to the fried rice and watermelon. I know I am so lame but I really couldn't do it after staring at the chicken feet while in the buffet line. After we ate we went up on deck and soaked up the view. Again, these pictures just do not do it justice. The buildings and lights seem to go on for miles. It is so beautiful. The weather cooperated, no rain. It was cool with the wind blowing and Alex was having a great time. You can tell from the pictures we were all acting silly and it was just a wonderful evening!
