Today we wandered the crazy, massive, rabbit warren that is the Yu Yuan market (sometimes also called the Dragon's Gate market). We got a scrapbook for Harmony from the same store that sold us scrapbooks for Medora & Lian in 2008 & 2009 - nice to know some things stay the same.
After lunch at an awesome dim sum restaurant, XinYi noticed a street vendor selling cotton candy. Oh my, that elicited a lot of excitement. The portion size was generous as you can see in the photos below. She ate it with enthusiasm - for her first bite, she buried her face in it. She had cotton candy sticking out of her nose! Bonus upside of the cotton candy - she spontaneously pronounced it "yummy". That's a new English word for her bringing the total to monkey, watch (pronounced kwatch), oops, pee pee, and yummy.
After shopping, we swam for an hour and a half. At one point, 4 local kids joined us swimming and we had a raucous game of pickle-in-the-middle going. After swimming, we had dinner with friends.
Tomorrow - we see Lian's orphanage!

Looks as if Lian ended up with cotton candy in her ear! Nice (new?) hot pink leggings! I think that anyone could get along nicely in a foreign country knowing only "oops," "yummy," and "pee pee."
More cotton candy for my horses and the Peltier girls - famous words from Blackbeard the pirate. Wow, what a busy three weeks you all have had. Love you - Dad / Grandpailoppol
