An Evening Stroll on West Lake

We reached a high of about 90 degrees today and it's also getting quite humid.  We got out of our apartment and went down to the lake to enjoy the evening as it was cooling down.  A few mosquitos, but also lots of bats in the air to eat them!

The willow tree lined boulevard next to the lake was lit up - the lights just came on as dusk settled on Hangzhou._LND0457
 
There were many people out on boats enjoying the views of the lake and the city lights.

We found a place to take some pictures with the city lights in the background.  We were able to get a couple of pictures but the kids just wanted to run, so we gave up trying to do other family shots tonight besides the ones below.

I think we'll wait for another day to get more family shots when we can bribe with ice cream or some other treat!

found your site by chance. It has been very helpful as we are coming to China March 2010. I'm currently reading " Lost on Planet China" by J.Maarten Troost and he is scaring me. Our son is teaching in Quanzhou and we are coming for a visit.
