Neat Discoveries...

We have discovered when they do something here they DO something! They have started decorating for Christmas. We found a mall that was decked out in Barbie Christmas decorations. I mean DECKED out. They had an outside display, interior display, and even on the escalators between the two. Kay loved it and could not stop pointing and showing Craig everything. We have found some cute Santa displays. We will have to take our camera and try to get some pictures of Kay.



Well, we are still exploring around our apartment. I wish I could experience this city through a child's eyes. I love watching Kay as she discovers something new. We spend a lot of time (and excitement) riding the tram, metro, escalators, and glass elevators. She asks a lot of "whats that mommy?" and I do my best to answer. She also likes to stop or sit and take a break and just watch. Here are some pictures of various things we had to stop and observe. We found a restaurant where they give you peanuts to shell and you throw the shells on the floor- very exciting to a two year old who usually gets in trouble for throwing food! We have found lines of hundreds of people in front of stores and we can't figure out why! We have found street fairs where we can't read the signs to figure out what it is! I am writing down my questions as I think of them during our walks in hopes someday I will be able to get some answers.




I am finding that we are always wishing we had our camera on us. I have been taking most pictures on my phone. I find it hard to manage one more thing while walking the street. Carrying Kay, my purse, and usually a food bag is enough! I promise as I get better at this (and Kay starts walking more) I will start carrying the good camera. There is so much stuff I want to capture!
