another sleep over afternoon activity.

-

Yesterday, Wednesday afternoon, the girls came to my apartment for a sleep-over.  We went out to take some pictures, the girls like to use my little “point and shoot” camera, and since film (sic) is so cheap we take dozens of pictures put them on the computer and laugh and delete and actually keep a few.

So here are photos, shot by the one absent from the picture.

 Lydia and I are in a little oriental (surprised you with that one huh?) park/garden that is in the court yard of my apartment building that my deck looks down on.

 And here Julianna and I are in a pavilion in another little oriental park/garden in the courtyard of the next building over.  (Each building has its own courtyard  or looks down on a  courtyard.- so there are lots of them)

 And here are the girls posing when I took a picture.  It is obvious they have seen lots of Chinese young people pose.  They copied the gestures and actions perfectly.

 And here is on of me having one of my ears removed.  I did have ample opportunity to learn about a lot of things. 

 Actually I did have a few moments of just walking, and had a wonderful companion as these last two suggest.  Julianna documented most of the afternoon.

We had a great evening too.   The three of us cooked in my and Patt's apartment, scrambled eggs – done by Julianna in a wok, and grilled cheese done by Lydia on a George Forman type grill.  The dinner was quite good, the company excellent and we even Skyped to Patt who was preparing for work back in the US of A.
