Michael and Lindsay had a fun day yesterday doing some local sightseeing. Most of you know Michael is a professional photographer and loves to be around "the locals". They hired a guide, Irene, who speaks English -- which is obviously a big plus when you want to be out and about. The picture here is of Irene and Lindsay getting ice cream in town. They went for tea and also to a teddy bear restaurant for lunch (yes - it was just a restaurant with big giant teddy bears sitting in the chairs with you......very fun for a 5 yr old!). I actually had very productive business meetings all day, which is one of the great things about this trip.....getting to see my international colleagues and figuring out how we can be more aligned across many miles and cultures. So many great people here. Can't believe we will meet Ally day after tomorrow. In some ways it seems like it will be forever.Thursday, May 21, 2009
