June 4 Adventure

We went with Shawn, from Lifetime, out to Gulangyu Island. It's always a little different each time. We see or do something new. It's always fun.

It was a very clear day and I got some good pictures of the island from the ferry.

 On the way over.

 To the left is Sunlight Rock - the highest point on the island. When it is not so hot and on a clear day (this fall I suppose) we will climb up and take pictures.

 This cute girl was selling pigs and frogs with ridged backs that when you ran the stick over them made an "oink" or a "ribbit" sound. They are hallowed out in such a way that the echo sounds like animal sounds. They are cool. Shawn wanted one but he wanted it cheaper and so he decided he was going to get one on commission. He stood there for about 10 minutes trying to help her sell them. She did come down on the price.

 He had several people interested, partly because he is a 6'5" white guy making noise. It was funny.

 These lions were atop a stone gate. They were pretty cool.

 This cat was just creepy. We've seen very few cats.

 This is the only antique shop we've seen. Most of it was junk, but part of me wanted to get a frame, a screen or some piece of furniture to take home to do over. That may yet happen.

 We were headed out at low tide - thus the rocks that you can see. 

The sun was on it's way down when we headed back. It was beautiful.

Come back tomorrow to see how our day ended!
