Waterfalls And Caves

We took the bus about an hour outside the city to visit the Tianhetan National Tourist Attraction.

We walked down hundreds of stairs to a beautiful waterfall. 

Then more stairs to board little boats to view caves. Certainly not a US attraction -- little boats with life vests (but not enough and in poor shape) took us through the long water cave. 

In many spots we had to lean in and duck to keep from getting hit in the head or shoulder. 

Then, after the boat ride, we walked through another cave -- with many more stairs! 

It was very impressive and fun to explore. We only did about 30 minutes of the walk through caves because we all have little ones. The entire cave takes about 90 minutes to get from one side to another. 

Livi has been such a good little traveler!  She is loving China. And, we are seeing more and more of Jessi's sweet playful personality. She is laughing and smiling more each day. 

We are really enjoying the four other families that are with us here in Guiyang. We are all on the same floor of the hotel (the 13th) and often have all of our doors open as all the children run and play up and down the hallway -- balls, bubbles, and more. Three of us have "big sisters" that were adopted from China, too!  

Back at the hotel after a late lunch at KFC right around the corner from our hotel. She came with the bump on her noggin. Her foster mom told us all about it in Chinese. We never did get it translated!!

And a little afternoon nap!!
