Jared really wanted to stop in Chinatown on this trip, since we had a really great experience wandering around there together years ago. We thought it might be an interesting time for Parker, with all of the strange wares and foods (and animals...) sitting out for sale on the sidewalks. He was pretty tired by this time, though, so I think he kind of shut down a bit. He did light up, though, when I gave him a five dollar bill to use to buy any souvenirs that he wanted (he became very obsessed with souvenir shopping on this trip--oops). He eventually chose a small frog statue and dragon statue and then a little box of knock-off Chinese Legos, which he soon discovered do not follow the same logic or quality control standards of the Legos he is used to... We also stopped for some pastries for a snack, and discovered that what looks like chocolate filling may very well end up being black bean curd.
