Touring the Tea Garden and West Lake





Today we toured the Tea Garden. The tea plants are grown on the mountain side. The city we are in, Hangzhou is known for good tea. They showed us how they pick it, then prepare it. We got to try some. It was good. I bought some if any of you want to try it when we get home. She told us it has many health benefits. After that we walked around the West Lake. It is beautiful! There are wooden boats you can take out, and many people were flying kites. It was a beautiful day today. Overcast and cooler than usual so we enjoyed our walk around the lake.

Yin is fine. She acts very distant when we are in public. I am not sure why. When we are in the hotel room, she is talkative and active. We are ready to get to Guangzhou. We are going out exploring later, so I will post more then.

We went through that with Anna Lin, not so much Autumn JinQiu. She almost shunned us in public, which is one reason we stopped going until we go to Guangzhou. It will get so much better there. There she will see family like you and she will feel bond more. Plus something about that playride, leaving everyone behind will make her realize how much she needs you. You will be her only thing familiar. :-(

I LOVE all the pictures! Ya'll are doing great!
