am i imagining things?

Marie, I just saw a gallery of things that should not be made of bacon... actually I saw the first thing, a bacon bra, and was enough disgusted that I didn't see any of the other ones. And I've also been working on my country naming abilities via freerice.org.
I have 1 more week in China, before back to home and then Boston. I'm excited for rivers and boats and even ergs.

So a few weeks ago I saw this by this lake that has a significant bar district at the other end. Unfortunately I don't think I'll have time to check it out for real, and anyways the small lake is full of swimmers and kayaks and paddle boats and speedy motor boats in the shape of ducks, but I was very excited to see this:




I've since decided that most of the boats there are kayaks. But am I just imagining or do I see at least 1 yellow empach with a bowball from afar???











Also, the great wall is epic. And a fantastic workout. The two ends of the section open to the public are highest up, so basically we started in the middle, climbed up one side, went down and climbed up all the way up the other side (almost 2 miles away). And then we went back to the middle and took this toboggan ride down. I've decided I would not make a very good bobsledder or luger as partway down my sled just stopped and the workers by the track kept telling me to go faster, but I really just couldn't...

The next season of America's Next Top Model is short models- under 5'7". We should have auditioned. I hope the marathon is running while we're in cocoa beach.
