Today was a giant day of sightseeing. Yellow Crane Tower, Hubei Provincial Museum and East Lake. All 3 places we visited in 2005, all 3 have changed so much. Liz and Brion who traveled with us will recognize some things. It was a great chance for the kids to get some history in even though most of it was in Chinese. Part of the museum had a Napoleon exhibit, which was cool!
We had our guide drop us off at Walmart. OMG! Yeah, it's huge. We wondered around and bought chips and sodas. There was a lady who looked at me, looked at Julia. Looked back at me and smiled. I smiled back and as we passed her she yelled, "Ni Hao! Very loudly. Like she got that we are an American family with a Chinese daughter. She smiled and smiled. Almost to say thank you without saying thank you and without having a clue as to what to really say to us. We did not take any pictures of the weird things we saw in the store. I find that to be disrespectful. We all know the Chinese eat/prepare thing differently. It's just my opinion.
I will be posting a lot of pictures that really need no captions. Just things we saw today. :)



























Love the pictures, keep them coming :)
