Ok, so I know I said we wouldn’t post until tomorrow, but we
have some really cute pictures of Grace that we cannot resist
sharing! Today began as usual at 6:30 with us waking ‘Rong Rong’
and she reached up with her usual ‘Ni Hao’. A trip to the Shanxi
museum was on the itinerary this morning, so we, along with the
other 2 American families, walked the 4 floors of the museum but
stopped for longest at the display entitled “Grace, Liam and
Elizabeth stop for a chat” (see pictures).
In the afternoon, Mike had the adventure of a trip to Walmart
which is very unlike US Walmarts! He went with Terry from
Georgia in a taxi and they managed the trip all on their own.
Live frogs could be found in aisle 20…I went with Grace and
Liam’s family to the indoor market and then she came back and
enjoyed walking round in Baba’s shoes (Carrie – are these the
kinds of shoes you had in mind when you offered to take her shoe
shopping?!)
This evening we went to a Chinese equivalent of KFC and I broke
out in spots! Thankfully they did not last. Grace enjoyed the
sundry food items that came her way and was tired when we got
back so no battles tonight over bedtime. Tomorrow we will not
arrive in Guangzhou until late so no post (but you’ve heard me
say that before!)
Love, Margaret and Mike ( Hope all our British friends are doing
ok in the snow!) |
