I have this sneaky suspicion that the Chinese guides are told to take the American tourists on the tours that involve the most walking and as many steep steps as possible. But I'm happy to say that this old American lady made it! The Crane tower is 5 floors and we didn't use an elevator. It gave a beautiful view over the city and the Yangtze River. The weather was beautiful, not too hot and not too cold...I did have all the bare skin of my little one covered and a jacket on her, but I enjoyed short sleeves.
Then we went to East Lake...a fresh water lake in Wuhan that is preserved and is a very peaceful place to walk. We saw about 10 bride and groom couples that were there to have their wedding photos.
We also saw some older gentlemen fishing beside the lake...never saw such long fishing poles for such little fish. Miss Shekinah slept for the entire walk.
We came home and decided to go searching for a stroller, we found the dept store and had been told the childrens' dept was on the 7th floor Couldn't find the elevator, so up 6 flights of escalators we went....only to find the strollers are more expensive than the ones at home. Then there in the children's dept we find the elevator!
Came "home" to rest and noticed that the wires that had been hanging outside our window were moving...could we be getting our very dirty window washed? No it was just a man that was filling cracks w/ cement...he was very curious to see 2 Mei-guo-ren's and one Zhong-ren looking out the window at him.
Tonite we traipsed acoss the street for steamed buns again...we all like them and they are cheap. There is also a little girl that needs to stop eating so many pistachios..I hid them away...they cause crying and whining until the bag is empty.
