Picture Problems

Sorry, but pictures aren't uploading to the blog for some reason tonight. We'll try again tomorrow.

We bought some squeeky shoes for Josh yesterday and he loves them! He wants to try walking all the time now just so he can listen to them.

We went walking around a marketplace last night and found some interesting stuff. One shop was full of wines. Not just ordinary wines - but cobra, ant, and scorpion wines. Five gallon bottles full of something fermenting with actual critters pickled in there with it. Tequila with the worm in it no longer impresses me.

This morning we went to a large garden. It was probably the neatest park we've been to yet. The landscaping and upkeep is tremendous. We have pictures, but it looks like you'll have to wait.

Tonight we went on a river cruise for the Moon Festival. It's considered the second largest holiday, after New Years, during which families reunite, have feasts, and gaze upon the full moon. There were tons of people out along the river's edge to look at the moon. The cruise was neat, the food was bad.

Tomorrow we're going to a temple and Josh will receive a Buddhist blessing from monks who still reside there. Should be fun.

We'll try to get pics up tomorrow,

Please let Carol know we're following the blog and our hearts and prayers are with everyone. The kids watched the PBS show Arthur where Binky travels to China to get his baby sister. Jammer said, "Hey, that's what the lady at the pharmacy building is doing!" I had to explain that Carol is the grandma, but yes, Joshua is being adopted in China and will be home soon.

So happy for everyone!

Love,

Natalie and Andrew Himebaugh
