Tea Museum and food street market

Ralph, Anna and I visited a National Park today. It looked very beautiful, but it was raining and blowing so hard I didn't leave the car. Anna had a "fussy" morning for her. Usually, she only fusses when she is wet or hungry or not with one of us. She started crying and wouldn't stop for almost an hour until she fell asleep. We think it was all from her stomach problems. Hopefully, she is better now.

She is very well-natured and very inquisitive. She loves people and looking around at everything. We can't go anywhere without people stopping us to look at her. Anna is grabbing everything within reach. Of course, she tries to put everything in her mouth. She has gotten more used to us and is getting us trained. She is hopelessly spoiled and always wants to be held or with us. She smiles and laughs most of the time. She has learned that if we say "One, Two, ...Three," something fun will happen. She starts bouncing up and down on two. She likes Peek-a-Boo. She is very good at getting where she wants to go on the floor and bed so we have to be very careful with her. She will be our climber. Other parents might not notice, but she uses both sides of her body very well.

The agency said she liked formula and some applesauce. She hates the applesauce but wants to eat everything. We gave her some bananas this morning, and she loved it. She was trying to lunge after it. We will try mashing up some in rice cereal and see what she thinks. For comfort, she likes to suck her thumb, usually her right. We were happy at first she didn't use a pacifier, but now, when she is upset, we don't have anything to give her.

Since Anna was fussy, Ralph stayed with her at the hotel while I went to the tea museum. Very interesting. I had no idea how much work went into making tea leaves. Afterward, we went to a food street market and grilled tofu on a stick. They had stall after stall of bakeries and goodie stands. We tasted at most of them and bought stuff to bring home. We still haven't tried the stinky tofu and don't think we will after today. I decided it smelled like a cross between a rotten dumpster and dog poopoo.

We will hang out for a few hours and then go to a street market.
