Baby Watching Traffic.

The Chinese people are fascinated by us Caucasian folks with Chinese babies. Seriously fascinated...whether they are young or old, male or female. Today a few of the families in our travel group walked to a shopping area in Chongqing for baby supplies, and sometimes foot traffic came to a stand still as a crowd began to form around the babies. It's surreal. Most of the onlookers seem very friendly. Some look bewildered. Some think we need to cover up our already sweaty babies more. I've taken to draping a blanket over the bar of the stroller, or around Bella in the Hip Hammock to avoid being scolded.

The Chongqing crowds are amazing. Jim and I stopped at a store near our hotel to buy more formula. The place was filled with stairs, so I waited outside with Sera in her stroller while Jim ran in. We were swarmed. I got out my video camera and started taking pictures. They all ran, and then the next wave came in. It was something else. They were all very nice though.

Bella is so beautiful. It sounds like your trip is going really well. Don't forget to try hot pot!
