Mt. Rushmore, no, Egypt, no

We decided to hop on a plane today and fly to Mt. Rushmore,



no, really, we are in Egypt looking at the pyramids




just kidding, we're at Easter Island - gum gum dum dum.


Actually, we visited Window of the World in Changsha China.






We couldn't find a church of our faith to attend here in Changsha so we thought today would be a good day to visit a nice park or something. We found some pictures in a book in our room and asked our guide what is this? She seemed a little suprised and asked if we'd like to go there. We said, sure. We were scheduled to go to the zoo today and we didn't want to so this seemed like a better option. We got there and saw this pyramid and lots of people around some large Egyptian, Roman and Greek statues. It was after our guide bought the tickets and we started asking more questions that we realized we were at an amusement park!! Not quite what we were looking for but we decided to take a look around.
They had many replicas of things from around the world - pretty amusing. They didn't have many rides but it was fun to see the people.
They had their version of the Swan castle - see above - not quite like the Disney version but it was up on a hill and made a nice photo op.
