We took a boat across the West Lake in Hangzhou. 
It was a cloudy/hazy day, but was also a little cooler.



Ellie was not a happy camper at the lake. 
She's even cute when showing her atti-TWO-de (attitude)



One of the pagodas that can be seen from the lake. There is a male and female pagoda that are separated by the lake. 
There is a story about a forbidden love and that is why the pagodas are separated from each other. This is a picture of the "male" pagoda.



Dragon boat that was built for a visiting official. It is also a restaurant.




Beautiful park around the lake.



It was finals week for Chinese high school students. They have to take exams to try to earn a spot at the university. 
There were police officers on the street and they were enforcing a "no honking zone" for the local traffic.



We are standing at Ellie's "find spot". This is where Ellie was found when she was 9 days old.



Ellie's finding spot.



Walking in the orphanage complex. Very nice and well kept.



A row of these beds - very nice, we thought she was in a crib.
