A walk in the (dog) park

View of houses and school from dog trail. Sometimes smoke
stacks on passing ships are visible on the horizon to the right.

This looks like it was a nice garden when it was planted. Now
it is mostly left wild. 

Biscuit and I have a morning routine of taking a walk together when the boys leave for school. We like to take a service road that cuts through the golf course to an abandoned garden area that is commonly used by dog walkers.

The access road into our compounds is narrow, and all of the school buses (about 30) are made to wait after dropping off the children so that the bus traffic is moving only in one direction at a time. They park on the service road and wait for the all clear signal. Biscuit has a few Chinese friends that always try to call to her and pet her. She is much larger than a typical Chinese dog, and I've been asked if she is pregnant!

More photos of the neighborhood should be forthcoming.

Golf course view.

Cypress. Fun to look at and to smell. Many are
permanently bent from the wind.

Guard booths on many corners. Manned 24/7.

The American School. Each week the last 3 flags are changed
to reflect the nationalities of the students and staff.
 I am learning new flags every week! 

Our street just after the morning rush. Our house is at the curve
on the right. The school is on the left.

Biscuit's new bling.
