It was quite a big garden and it is full of huge rocks that are supposed to look like lions (hence the name). James and Abigail had the greatest time climbing and exploring all the different pathways and caves. James is convinced that the Amazing Race has to come to this garden!
We again, were the only westerners around so attracted quite a few stares. An older chinese couple saw Abigail and asked if they could take a picture with her! Bizarre.
So the week went well. James had a friend over yesterday and is at another friend's place this afternoon. Abigail was invited for a sleepover on Thursday which is a school night but since it is at the elementary principal's house I thought I would allow it. Mark is participating in the SSIS faculty pub crawl tonight. Visiting 5 or 6 bars in one night enjoying discounted drinks with his coworkers. Hmmm, think I'll stay home. It looks like I will be trading in my kindergartners for high schoolers after this week. I have been asked to teach high school english for the next three months while a teacher goes on maternity leave. Yikes! That's all the news for now. Love to everyone from Suzhou! Just in case you haven't seen enough, here are a few more pictures :)
