Spring in Nanjing

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).
I wish I could capture the crazy amount of people at the lake. There are millions of people in Nanjing. Can you imagine even a small fraction of them coming to the city's most popular lake? 
One side of the lake.

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

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.
