Yet again...another sight that was just too good to pass up. I guess you had better pay close attention when driving...you just might fall into a manhole. I guess that is why he left his hard hat on the road. At least, I hope he left it there on purpose. I guess I should have checked to make sure he didn't fall in and lose his hat. :) And, of coarse, I am the only crazy foreigner taking a picture of a manhole.
Jonathan and I took a short day trip to a nearby city this week while the kids were in school. We rode on a bus and saw many different parts of the area we live in. We managed not to get any mosquito bites on this bus that had many mosquitoes. We passed lots of countryside to get to this other city and I even met some new people along the way.
Celery anyone?? Seriously. I don't think I have ever seen celery as big as it is here. We passed so many of these bikes on our way home. I guess they were bringing it into town to sell at the market.
Every week at the kids' school, they have assembly. A different class will lead it. This week it was Regan's class and she was so excited because she was the narrator for the play they were doing. Normally, the parents do not come to this, but she asked if I could come. So I got to stand in the back and watch. She did such a good job.
We use many forms of transportation here...bikes, walking, taxi, bus, train, subway, etc. This is a picture of Lauren in the taxi. Most of the drivers have some sort of bars or cage around them for their safety. I think I have only been in one taxi since we have been here that did not have the cage. I'm not sure what Lauren is going to think when we come back to America and she has to sit in a car seat! She has become very accustomed to the way of life here.
This is a sight we see often, but I never have my camera handy...McDonald's Delivery. If you ask me, I would not really want this job. It just does not appeal to me to have to wear that huge thing on your back and then ride a bicycle to someone's home and deliver a "hot" meal to them. I have to give them bonus points for safety. These are the only guys I ever see wearing a bicycle helmet :) (well, besides my own kids)
