It is finally starting to warm up around here so I thought I would take advantage of the nice weather this weekend and head to one of Yantai's pars. On Saturday I didn't feel like going all the way downtown so decided that Sunday was the day. I should have known better when I woke up Saturday morning to a beautifully warm sunshiney day that Sunday would end up being rainy and cold, which it was. It didn't stop me though. We went down to the park and managed to get through just as the rain started coming down.

It's a very small park, but it is also very beautiful. I love finding places like this in the middle of a congested city. It was nice and quiet and rather peaceful. Perhaps because it was raining and there weren't very many people there. Either way it was a nice way to spend an afternoon. I thought the coolest part was the temple that housed all 12 of the animals of the zodiac that represent the years in Chinese. Right now we're in the year of the Ox.
