I would forego the last China post if I didn't have such great pictures to share!
Since we had so much downtime in Guangzhou while we waited for our upcoming US Consulate appointment, we went to the zoo.
Our guides kept telling us about the panda bears and how we would see them. The expectation management side of me kept my excitement over our zoo visit at bay.

I've been on too many zoo visits to know better than to expect every animal to be present and/or perform. And true to form, the panda bears were enclosed in a glass building and you could barely see them. We didn't even bother taking a picture.
BUT, the rest of the zoo was fabulous! They had lots of animals - not just the single tiger like you see at Hogle Zoo. But the best part has to be feeding the giraffes. For a mere 10 yuan, you got a big bush of leaves to feed the giraffes. We took Anna in and she was one part fascinated, two parts skeptical and 3 parts scared. So now Anna can tell her therapist that her mom was feeding her to the giraffes AND the polar bear (see previous post last week).
Did I mention how hot and humid it was in Guangzhou? 90 degree heat and 90% humidity made for a short zoo trip and a very tired little girl.
