out and about

Last weekend, we went sight seeing with another family. We visited a memorial park built in honor of 143 American World War II POWs who were executed by the Japanese. The tunnels they built are still there and it was a shocking and disturbing event to learn about. It really brings history alive when you can see places that you hear/read about.





We also visited a local fishing village where the houses are built over the ocean water. One boy had fashioned his own boat--and was very good at getting around. We decided this was a single speed, manual transmission, creative edition. Very clever and he was having fun.




And one of our crew was mighty tuckered out after a big day of playing with a visiting missionary family. After not hearing the pitter patter and general exclamations from our wee little one, I meandered about the house to find that she just couldn't take another step before having a quick rest...
