On our last morning in Chengdu we visited Market Street. So many wonderful stalls with handmade toys and trinkets. We walked about for a few hours enjoying the sunshine and culture. For lunch we ate at a traditional Chinese family restaurant and were impressed with how much better we'd gotten at using chopsticks.
Here we outside our hotel - couldn't tell you the name of it - as you can see - it's written in Chinese. Eddie's got his morning cup of Starbucks Coffee. We couldn't help it - every morning we had breakfast at Starbucks (that was just just around the corner, naturally). Lattes and cheese and ham croissants.
The rest of the day it was dumplings and pork.
Connor on his quest to find all food items shaped like snakes.
Seeing as it's the Year of the Snake - and he and I are both snakes -
he's determined to quite literally eat his way through the year.
This treat was a lolly-pop of blown confection sugar.
In honor of Connor's fantastic handwriting work he'd done this trip, there was an entire market stall devoted to handwriting tools guaranteed to give you fantastic handwriting.
The boys looking very Western in their Life is Good hats.
We purchased a painted ornament to remember Chengdu by.
This gentleman used a tiny stick to paint the word family for us inside the glass ball.
Beautiful street decorations.
Chengdu is in the Sichuan Province - the gateway to Tibet.
Just outside our lunch restaurant were many monks who were out enjoying the spring weather.
The boys showing off their Kung Fu bracelets. Did you know they are Kung Fu masters?
