The Great Flood

One day it started raining...

and kept raining...

and pretty soon it was flooding! The street was a river, with garbage rushing by in torrents and people struggling to get from one place to another.

This shot of a motorcycle driving through the flood is my favorite!

A few hours later the water was gone, the vegetable stalls were back on the street, and it was as if nothing had happened. 

We'd started construction on a pop-sickle stick ark, but abandoned the project when it became clear that we'd still be able to go to school the next day.  

(This was maybe our third day in China--good times, good times)
