Two weeks in one

Last week was so super busy that I forgot to post the photo of the week! This week I'm trying to make up for it by doubling up. Enjoy!

Below is a photo of a very common sight in China: split pants. Here often children don't wear diapers. They wear split pants that are conveniently open in the middle for easy access. The parents begin training the babies when they are very little to "respond" to the mother whistling. It's a pretty fascinating idea.



Below are two photos of the mountains we can see from our apartment. This is one of our favorite things about where we live. The first photo is an unusually vibrant sunset. The second was taken the morning after a thunderstorm in September. We got rain, but the higher elevations got snow.
