Hohhot is very colorful, noisy and chaotic. We are right on the main drag and it is busy all the time. These pictures are from the street, a department store, and the Mongolian Museum. On the street, common themes are: construction everywhere, huge billboards, lots of bicycles, dust masks, traffic anarchy, neon lights, and side street markets. The picture showing the torn up street shows where we got our laundry done.
The last picture shows Grandma getting cosy with Naomi via cracker bribery. Naomi goes to whoever has the food. No matter what it is we are eating, she is interested in it and will flirt to get it. She is warming up to us but still struggling with a cold. Also she is showing a bit of a fiesty personality.

Another update from the Hoovers! I love this. Ruth, your pictures are wonderful and really convey a flavor of the place. It's ironic but I feel more in touch with you now that you're on the other side of the world - ha! Hey I think I recognize Naomi's outfit in the pic w/your mom.... :-)
Still praying for you guys.
Love, Auntie M
What? A fiesty personality? I wonder who she takes after....Ruth or Roger??? LOL
The pictures and words are wonderful.Now if we could just smell the smells and taste the food!
Thanks so much for giving the gift of precious time to us as you paint these pictures for us.
I just caught up on all that is going on since I last wrote. Naomi is so precious. God has been very good to you. We continue to pray for you and think of you. I look forward to seeing you again.
