The Market and the Chinese Nanny



We visited the market in Feng Do, looking for some afternoon snacks because we haven't had enough to eat.  (That's a  joke - we have each gained five pounds.)  Dad was looking for a little kosher nosh and discovered the pig stand: pig noses, pig faces (yes - they sell pig faces), pig knuckles (boring), pig feet, pig hearts, and pig testicles.  They all smell like day-old Peking Duck.





As we left the market (with the five little Lubins in tow), I was looking for a Chinese nanny to bring home to help me take care of the little Lubin brothers.  (Since I am starting this new full-time job in Nov.)  There were a bunch of nannies sitting on the stoop and I asked for volunteers.  They all wanted to come with us.  Which one do you think I should bring home?





We are on the move - heading east on the Yangzi.  Can't wait for the next adventure.  Of course we need to get a larger table for dinner tonight with the little Lubins and the nanny.
