A typical evening at the park

Sunday evening was sunny and perfect, so we went for a stroll to see what we could find. On our way, we went through an underpass where vendors gather every day to sell juice, watermelon and other fresh produce from the back of carts pulled by horses or donkeys. Imagine that in the middle of “spaghetti junction” in Atlanta! But since so many people walk everywhere, it’s a good place to do business.

After venturing on and having a fairly tasty dining experience, we made our way to an exercise park a couple of miles from home. Exercise parks are just that—outdoor parks filled with exercise equipment. They’re common here and are very popular in the evenings, so they make great places for Caleb to burn some energy while we mingle with the locals and practice the few phrases we know. Susanna found herself in her own version of Where’s Waldo, while Caleb ran around, flirted with a little girl and posed for the many photos.

It was fun to see everyone enjoying our kids so much. After all, I guess it’s not every day they see a tow-headed toddler with a 5 month old blue-eyed baby sister!
