from one of our apt. windows...the view usually invokes some pleasant response, but this day was especially pleasing!

this is Shekou, the harbour to the 16 mil. city, Shenzhen.

everywhere we go, people smile, talk, or touch luke's head!
there were a group of high school girls that took turns taking pics w/ luke-they couldn't get enough of the little stud! :)

this is the boat "minghua", which is the focus of "sea world", right next to our apt. complex.
i get the idea that our real estate is pretty prime to the locals, being next to a tourist area. chinese come to sea world on weekends or holidays. it's such a "western" area-uncommon in mainland china. it's home to us, but we're pointed at a lot, esp. when on our bikes!

i bought a pair of the cutest shoes here-was expensive by chinese standards,
but i had to have them: $15.
