There was an suddenly an area that was not covered by trees and the sun light shone brightly on the butterfly. That's the entrance to the Jacob Ballas Children's Garden. I can't get in. You need have a kid in tow to get in. But recently the spouses of the ministers that came for the APEC2009 meetings in...
