Renmin Park part 1

Today we visited a porcelain shop and Renmin (People's) Park.  It was a great day.  The province of Jiangxi is specifically known for it's porcelain. We purchased a few items as they are from her specific province but are holding out for Guangzhou due to the weight limit of our bags while flying inside China.  We were successful in keeping our bags around the 38 pound mark when we flew here and we have used several supplies so hopefully there will be balance between what we've used and what we've purchased.
Renmin or People's Park was absolutely beautiful.  We were constantly stopped by people to have our photos taken -- especially JD with his red hair.  Several moms stopped us so their children could talk to JD.  It was so sweet.  The park was developed because many Chinese people cannot afford to go to the gym.  The government built this park and several others for the people to have a place to go to socialize as well as work out.  We saw several groups of people exercising in the park. 
JD had an opportunity to walk on water today although he spent more time crawling.  He and a few others took the opportunity to go on the water in a ball filled with air.  It was much harder than it looked at first but JD said he had a blast!
