People have a saying about the seasons here--and by saying I mean I've heard the exact same thing from everyone who speaks English to me.
"Nanjing...two seasons: winter...summer...no spring."
We've been making sure to take advantage of the nonexistent/short spring.
Mister had some time off for the holiday so we went to Xuan Wu Lake with some friends. Miss A found one of her favorite friends along the way.

| The wind made for lots of kites and bubbles! |
 |
| Some pretty great sales techniques (wearing the merchandise). |

| One side of the lake. |

| How could you not enjoy a day out with these two?? |

| Our navigator |
 |
| On our walk home we met Garfield (he's very popular here), |
 |
| we rode an elephant, |

| and one of us took a nap with his sister's cute hat to keep him cool. |
We're soaking up the sun and our last 5 (can you believe it FIVE?!) weeks in Nanjing.
