Juliana and Joseph went out on the canoe for the first time today. We had a bit of rain this morning which cooled things down nicely. Before that we were having some seriously humid and hot days. There was a nice breeze today on the lake and we took the boat across to check progress on the ferris wheel. Next we skirted Island A to look for birds and fish. No wildlife spottings today.
Upon returning to the dock, we met a man and his son named Michael and Walt. They are a new family in the neighborhood from Belgium. Michael is here to open a chocolate factory in Suzhou. Belgian chocolates - maybe we can volunteer for some "voice of the customer" feedback on his pilot production. Walt is Joseph's age and is one of three children. They are relocating here from their last assignment in Saudi Arabia. It sounds like China will be easy compared to living in the arab world of covered faces and strict religious laws. Perhaps we will recruit Michael for poker. After two years in Mecca, he is probably overdue for a night of drinking and gambling !
