Sabbath Nature Walk Part 1

I know we have a lot to catch up on but for now here is part one of our little adventue yesterday (part 2 will get much more interesting....promise).

Yesterday, we set out for a nice long 'nature walk'. We started out from the front of our apartment complex.


And across the highway to the famous 'Lovers Lane'.


Then down a random dirt path for the fun of exploring.


Then on past a typical Chinese apartment building. And actually this is one of the nicer ones.


Then on into one of the many beautiful parks here in Zhuhai(pronounced Juhigh).









Then on to wander the back streets near our complex.









And Hide and Seek with a few of the locals.



And into a supermarket.













Our walk was interesting. It showed us more of the China we expected. It was eye opening and at times shocking but more on that later.

The other part of our day actully involved much more 'nature' but I'm waiting for the photos to upload....

Trouble accessing blogger

Hey Guys!

We finally have Internet in our apartment! The only thing is that we are having trouble getting on blogger here in China (it's run by google).The only way to post is from the iPhones. We might need to change the URL but we'll let you know if that happens.

Can't wait to tell you all what's been going on here! Goat heads, live eel, Indian food, rain, taxi Mario Cart and so much much more soon to come!

Miss you all!

Happy Feet

Our first day here in Zhuhai has been really good.

Breakfast at Ron's hotel







Then off to a business 'meeting'. A 70 min foot and leg massage! Oh happy day!
























Then off for a walk along the beach. And then back for a planning session.

Zhuhai is pretty clean, the traffic is not to bad(although the drivers NEVER stop for pedestrians), warm and a bit humid. The people are nice and pretty helpful.

Ok, now off to lunch(Italian-how ironic)! So hungry!
