our whole world is often a stage...

Today Grace and I ventured to a part of town known as "5 elephants." You can tell from the statue below why it's been given that name. We happened upon some nice folks practicing for a performance they will be giving on the 22nd.

Next thing we knew, the group took a break and Grace became the main attraction.
Grace enjoyed the attention but got a little overwhelmed in the end...
So we went to her favorite local play-land. Here's a girl who wasn't scared to play with the foreign baby!
And, as a bonus, I snuck a (not too graphic) picture for you of a boy wearing split-pants. Very common in Asia, it is often preferred over wearing diapers. We've read a few articles on how "elimination communication" is getting somewhat more popular in the States, but they've done it here for years!

As Grace is looking at the stage in her sweet pink dress, she looks older than she actually is.

The retreat pictures are nice of Kevin and Brigitte. Since Grace's birth, it is a rare picture without her in it. We must go to the highest point of the city the next time we visit. Mom G
