Walkabout photos!


Just a short walk from our hotel, there's a street where Traditional Chinese Medicine pharmacies come to buy their ingredients wholesale.



Bags of seahorses for medicine.




Midmorning shoppers.




Bundles of snakeskins, bags of starfish, etc, for medicine.




Kitties, puppies, and birds for sale as pets (not medicine!).




That's me pushing Helen - we're getting the hairy eyeball from the woman in white on the right, the women in red on the left AND the dude with the man-purse.




At the end of this street lies a ginormous Holiday Inn, old meets new.




Turn the corner and...NEW.



The new moms with Molly, shopping plaza. McDonalds and KFC, check.


We asked Molly if this guy was advertising for a store and she giggled and said, "No, I think this man just wants to be a clown." I think so, too.


I took too long in the CD store, oops!

Great Pics! Walkabout must be daunting, especially with the stink eye people on the prowl.

Wow - what fun and adventure! You aren't going to want to come home to the "same old stuff"!

We are thinking of you ... as you prepare for your long trip home!

Think "sound sleeper"!

See you soon!
