Hangzhou

We have enjoyed getting outside this weekend. Our group went on a tour of the West Lake yesterday. The flowers and trees were beautiful! We got on a boat and toured the lake for a nice view. Then our guide took us on a tour of a tea museum since this area is known for its tea production. The tea ceremony that concluded our tour was very enjoyable.
Our guide took us to her church this afternoon. We recognized many of the hymns that we sung including "What a friend we have in Jesus". We wished that we could have understood the sermon because the minister seemed inspired. The scripture was the story of the prodigal son and Psalm 139 and the theme was about father's day. Niklas did really well considering we were there for over an hour.
We will take it easy tonight, try to pack a little, and go eat dinner. We check out of this hotel tomorrow around 1:30 and head to the airport to fly to Guangzhou. We are looking forward to checking in to the White Swan tomorrow night and maybe eating at Lucy's.

Niklas seems like such a happy little guy - always smiling! Sounds like you're having some great experiences despite the weather.
