Walking on Water

Elizabeth (Liz)

Quote of the day

            Yeah, yeah         - Henry's Mom

Hello all,

I am glad to report I am all better even though Kelby and Iona are not. Nonetheless after school today we headed out to hang out with Henrys mom who was taking us to the enduring memories of Hanzhou light show. The drive to get there was crazzzzzyyy. So much traffic!! But it was worth it. The show was pretty much like all the other operas we have seen, a series of acts that demonstrate the variations that is Chinese opera. But what made this so special was the fact that it was legitimately on the water. Basically all the dancers and singers would preform on these docs that were so thin it looked like they were walking on water. On top of that the water itself reflected all the lights that surrounded us which in turn provided this surreal atmosphere. I think my favorite parts was when the huge lines of women holding umbrellas all danced on the docks in sync and when they projected this giant fan on the water during the butterfly lovers dance. We are all so thankful Henrys mom brought us to experience this wonderful show and she herself was a lot of fun as well with her spunky attitude and fearless driving.

Thats all for now!
