Nanjing Zoo




On Thursday, our last full day in Nanjing, we visited the zoo. Our guide was very very excited that we got to see the pandas -- a rare endangered species. We just nodded politely since we used to live just up the hill from the pandas on loan from China to the National Zoo, a walk of just a couple of minutes from our apartment. So we got the chance to take a few pictures of Timothy watching his shoes as we went to see the pandas.

Friday was our first plane trip with Timothy, down to Guangzhou. Let's just say we're really not looking forward to our 24 hour return trip back home! He did manage to fall asleep at the end of the flight and kept sleeping even through landing -- we're not sure how, since his parents are still trying to clear their ears from the horrible cabin pressure changes.

So did the pandas look any different than Butterstick?

The bright side of your marathon flight: so he'll cry the first two or three hours and then sleep. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

How's he settling in with new Mommy and Daddy?

See you in five days!

PS After looking at the pictures close up, I don't blame Timmy. Those are some pretty interesting shoes for a little fella.
