We arrived in Gaoxing July 13th. This is where we will be spending most of the year. We live in a place called Niao Song just on the outskirts of Gaoxing. It is very beautiful here I feel as if our back yard is a jungle. Unfortunatley for that we have had many creepy creatures & also some fun ones. I really love catching the geckos. The spider you see was as big as Davids hand. It was also carrying a large egg sac about the size of a fifty cent piece. And last but not least a cock roach as big as Davids toe. I had a pet gecko I named him Chester he started to turn color so i thought he was getting sick, I let him go on the tree. I later learned geckos turn color. Click on the pictures to see them larger.
