Friends in China

Here is the apartment Allison lives in. She is on the 6th floor. Wow, what a high-rise! It seems like a house inside, though, because there are lots of windows on all sides.
Here are the buddies--Elijah (almost 9 months) and Nathan (4 months). Nathan buddy is hanging on to his new pal.
Elijah zonked out in the museum--perfect! We were able to see all kinds of interesting Chinese writing, art, pottery, jade and artifacts.

This would be a cool desktop background. I like the writing...very interesting but hard to read!

This was the nicest weather we had--sunny but still crisp. The Chinese are very concerned that Elijah is too cold. I think he's okay.

Elijah made TONS of friends. Here is one of his little marshmellow buddies. They overdress the kids so they stay warm. Man, this guy must be burning up. They thought Elijah was too cold. Elijah is wondering, "Why are all these people looking at me?" You stand out, son.

Yep, we stand out here. This is the busiest street, supposedly a million people pass by every day. We really felt like we were in China here!

Try reading these road signs. Allison was indeed a great navigator, though.

Micah, I took this picture for you. A Chinese pizza hut (we did not eat here, but it reminded me of you in Spain!).

Dragon fruit, appropriately named for China! Inside it is white with black dots and tastes like melon a bit. We don't have this in the Philippines, but I think they have it in Thailand too.
