Today we headed to the zoo for the morning but I felt bad for the animals who were in enclosures that were way to small. Still the zoo is a beautiful place in Guangzhou. They have a pretty large zoo and it was cool today so the animals were very active. We saw tigers, black bears, golden monkeys (endangered species) cougars and a black panther. The highlight was the old male panda bear that rose to the occasion and actually greeted us at his pen. The animals are unusually close which can be unsettling. I don't know if I have ever seen a male Lion so close. His musculature was amazing and the animal is taller than I thought.
After a quick pnut butter and jelly sandwich and nap, we were off to the US Consulate. Karen bought us another suitcase for the ride home because it is clear we have done quite a bit of shopping.
After that we all boarded a bus and showed up at the consulate with about 69 other families to take the oath. the oath is a no brainer but does offer some formality to the process of wrapping things up here. We are happy and relieved to be done and as soon as the plane touches the tarmac in LA Brooke will be a US Citizen with her certificate to be done in 45 days.....yippeee.
We celebrated tonight without half the group at a Cantonese restaurant. We took some interesting pictures of the live offerings that you can view prior to cooking to ensure that your meal is as fresh as possible.
