I have some fun (though random) photos to share of our Sunday in Suzhou.
As we set out to leave this morning for church, we found the street blocked by a crew of men removing and cutting up a tree across from our house. The billowing blue smoke is the exhaust from the two-stroke chain saw engine. Maria was particularly interested in the activity. Moments later, the blue pickup truck left with the tree. All that remained was a very large hole in the ground.
Next we loaded up the car and drove half a block in the other direction when Juliana pointed out the we had departed without Joseph ! When we pulled back up to the front door, Joseph was trying to get out of the house which Kathleen and locked from the outside - Oops ! Sorry Joseph.
The next couple pictures I snapped through the car window on the way to church. First a truckload of loose shoes on their way to market, then a wedding photographer filming the happy couple in the black Buick Regal trailing behind. A curious tidbit - every wedding procession you see in Suzhou is comprised entirely of black Buick Regal sedans. The families must rent six or eight Regals for the event and this must be the only application for Buick Regals in China because you never see them otherwise. Strange !
Finally we have a couple snapshots of our friend and neighbor Dan who was keen to take his kids and mother (visiting from Georgia) out for a canoe ride today. It turned out to be a bit of a short voyage because the water was a little choppy and when we tried to take the girls out, we nearly capsized only a meter from the dock.
