Sunday Day 4












Everyday we see a little more of our little girl. Today she increased her plate at breakfast, I thought she would burst. Four slices bacon(large), 2 slices ham, 2 sausage links, an egg and rice noodles with a glass of OJ. We are going to have to work on the veggies and fruits. After breakfast was a game of UNO, Tara yelled DRAW & UNO to Tia & Curt right before she won the game. It was funny! That was maybe her 3rd game.
Gene and I ran the laundry down to the corner. It was noon when we got it there and it is suppose to be done after 5. We replenished the bottled water and hit alot of the little shops scoping out the souvinours. I am trying to wait to buy until we return from Fuzhou. Tia is suppose to buy Michael in her class a fan, we may have to use it in the meanwhile. Humidity is 99.9% Have you ever had a soggy peanut M&M, we have them(or soggy gum??).
We were stopped by a young lady on the sidewalk with 5 little 5 yr olds. She ask for our time, it was so cute. She had them repeat a question in English, they ask our names and had us write it on a piece of paper. It was clearly an English lesson. Even Gene said it was hard not to scoop them up and give them hugs. They were so adorable and polite.
We walked North of the hotel across off the Shamian Island. There is a street that both sides are open shops full of (wow how to describe) dried items such as; sea horses, mushrooms, squid, soybeans(check back I will add as I figure out what some of the stuff was)It would be interesting to see what is done with some of this stuff. We also passed fruit vendors; bananas not like ours, mangos, maybe black currents, something like a coconut. Everyone is so friendly :) Curt is out now scoping the Island. I am allowed 5 pics per entry, I may go back and stick some in other places.
