We went in to town today but decided to just explore instead of going in for provisions. It was nice to just wander around and see all these little store up close. We've been passing them on the bus for a couple of months now but you never see anything from so far away.
We had a bit of an adventure. We were waiting for a bus downtown but couldn't understand why it was taking so long. The answer came when we saw the streets filling up with a parade of people. We decided to start walking to see if we could find the detoured bus. Along the way, we found out from some of the people in the parade that it was a charity drive to help the poor who need winter coats. Since we've been here, the fact that I speak Cantonese has helped.
That's how we understood what was going on today.
As we walked, we saw another little parade of children. They were so excited to see Don and were trying to talk to him as we walked on the sidewalk while they walked on the street. Don decided to join them for a bit and chat. Here is my paparazzi pic:

We had a great day in town but are now pooped. Resting our weary legs. J
