Day 22 -- Sanya, China

We all decided we should sleep in today and just have a completely lazy day. Today is the 15th day of the Chinese New Year (apparently an big day for the holiday), so the guide we were in touch with recommended not doing any tours for the day. We have made plans for the next two days that should keep us pretty busy. We ate lunch at the hotel and chilled out in the room for a while before Daniel and I went swimming. It was a little chill, but way warmer than swimming in the Washougal River at home, and we do that every summer. I tried to lay out and soak up some sun, but the clouds were moving in and blocking the sun. Back to the room and got cleaned up. Killed some more time and had dinner at the hotel. We had thought about going to an entertainment show at the hotel, but decided we didn’t want to spend the money on seeing “The Creation of Hainan” and not really be able to understand it too. Dad got a haircut at the hotel and we headed back to the room. Mom worked on trying to book the rest of our trip and we watched a few DVDs. Some guards at a nearby hotel gave us a good fireworks show and we headed to bed by midnight. Not really like us to stay at the hotel all day, but we did enjoy the vacation from vacationing. We tend to hit things pretty hard when we travel because we never know when we will be back to that place.
