Another late start today, we had breakfast around 830 and Gracie ate alot. We had pizza last night, and she didnt eat alot. (No she did not go to bed hungry). They had cherry tomatoes on the breakfast bar, which is Extremely nice!!!! She ate 6 in no time flat. After breakfast, we wondered the hotel, still haven't seen it all. Look in some of the shops, and at all the nice furniture I cant afford. There are lots of pcs I would love to have shipped home.
Then we had to wait on Grace (our guide) to call and let us know if everything went ok with the Consulate Appointment. WHICH IT DID! I didnt realize we did not have to attend that.
I got to talk to my boys today for the first time, we (Paul) actually got the video conference working, so I got to see them and they got to see Miss Thing!!!!! It was so good to see them, I miss them so much. I dont know what I'll do when they leave home.
We had to end our call, because we were meeting our guide at 1045, we were 12 minutes late. She took us to the pearl market today. It was a floor in the mall, I think there were like 7 floors maybe. Gracie got a bracelet. I took a pic for you, and will post after dear hubby downloads them.
Back to the room, we decided to give the pool a try (paul and gracie) I was thinking it was indoors, no, and it was a little to cool for that, we do not need a sick child, she just got over her cold.
Off to walk the streets and get some lunch. It is really safe here. We went to Lucy's for lunch. I ordered her a grilled cheese sandwich with Corn on the cob. She like the sandwich and devoured the corn in no time flat. She can clean a cob better than my daddy. Made the mistake of ordering a pc of homemade apple pie. Everything else was great. The sweets in China are not really sweet.
Then off to do a little shopping and price the luggage, we need to buy a suitcase so that we are not overweight on the way back. We'll go back for that tomorrow. Got Gracie a tshirt that says, "Made in China". Too Cute.
There are several dogs here, on the way out, there were two tiny puppies, she would not even go near them. In one of the shops there was a Shihzu, she was so sweet, but Grace wanted nothing to do with that.
So after lunch and wandering around, we went back and she actually petted the dog, there may be hope after all.
She was sweating so bad and needed some rest so we came back to the room, she just woke up, so she will not be asleep by 8 tonight.
We take our Oath tomorrow and then off to do the city tour. Packing for Friday morning, our time is winding down and we'll be home soon. We are not, however, looking forward to the plane ride. Paul Ray is really itching to get back to work.
I'll post pics tonight, when she goes to sleep.
Much love
Peggy
