About two weeks ago, we left our home in the Mountains to move to the City. It was almost a bit of "reverse" culture shock, going from such a rural setting to a very urban "metropolis". In the Mountains, things like reliable electricity and running water were never a constant. We had also grown accustom to doing all our grocery shopping in Open Markets; buying produce from random roadside vegetable stands and meat from Butcher shops (where you actually pick out an animal and they slaughter it to your liking right there in the shop.---talk about Fresh! ;)
However, now that we are back in the City, our way of life has changed again. We had to get used to there being grocery stores, using public transport like metros, shopping in malls and we had to get ourselves adjusted to not hoarding buckets of water for when our water would run out (because in the city, this is an irrational notion ;)
We are also enjoying that establishments are still opened later than 8pm :)
The Train ride from the Mountains to the City was about 7 hours, however we must have eaten about 8 times through out the duration of our ride. They just kept bringing treys of food down the aisles; bread rolls and soup, yogurt, chicken and rice, ice-cream, etc.
All the eating wore the little guy out ;)
To celebrate our arrival to our new home, we had a "Cup-Cake" Party.
While trying to take a more-up-to-date Belly shot, Hudson kept photo-bombing ;)
This years' Pumpkin Party. Hudson was BatMan (making his Daddy Proud ;)
