We Take a boat Ride on Nanhu

After a long morning of talking to the students we went back to the hotel and had a very fine banquet at the hotel restaurant. Amidst much laughter and talking we relaxed and planned the next day. They would pick us up at 9:00 AM and we would tour the lake on a boat. Seven of us embark on a boat to explore the lake and its environs. Many islands abound on this lake. We stop and explore a number of islands. One island has hundreds of exotic birds. I saw birds of many colors including an American turkey. Another island is inhabited by hundreds of monkeys. Another has dozens of wild animals, lions, bears, alligators, and many others.
