Hi everyone,
we had a very good day today. We are still watching lily like a hawk, if her temp goes any near 103 everyone starts to run for the advil. She has eaten almost nothing, but is drinking water.
Even the hotel staff are worried about her. LOL
We honestly cannot say enough good things about this hotel. absolutely amazing.
Cheryl and Barb had the executive sous chief sit with them at breakfast and made out a list of things to go see.
Today we went in seach of a stroller. What a difficult job. Most of you know what the silk market is like....
well, we went to a couple of building that had floors of stalls like the silk market, but was the low low low end version, very scary. It was soo bad. Isabelle was scared out of her wits and Frank had to take her and Lily home in a taxi, abigail was also frightened but stayed. We promptly left this place, buying a stroller onthe way out. (got it for 130 yuan) will buy another in beijing for hanlin.
This place was soo gross, it wasnt packed with people, but it was very dirty and in the china version of the rifle range in saint john, only worse, oh god very very worse. we high tailed it out of there,and went to the ancient cultual street. ohh much much cleaner, nice stalls, a bit tourist-y but not bad.
we stayed there for a while. we are heading back in the morning. this time with isabelle and lily as frank has a meeting at 8am and isnèt expected to get home till supper.
his meeting is almost 2 hours away.
so its just us girls tomorrow. look out pocket book.
Here are some pics of our day.
we are planning it better tomorrow, because by 3pm we all start to stall..... and isabelle has been asleep for the night the last 2 nights at 6pm, then up waking me up at 4am.
Had a huge wind storm, that turned into heavy rain, and crazy lightening. we turned the lights out in the room and watched it.
thanks for all the comments We love reading them.
lu, could you please call Dad and see if gary can show him the blog and the pics. thanks
Krista
