Sunday we had four families take two cabs to Shamian Island to do some shopping which was so much fun! We found some really good deals and some wonderfully beautiful items - even plenty of squeaky shoes! We had a late lunch at Lucy's (a great Western style restaurant with HAMBURGERS); that is where I met a fellow Rumor Queen follower (Waiting for Olivia and her mom, Nana to Livi). We then got back to the hotel by about 4 p.m. and had a visit from the King family who we toured with in Beijing. They are doing so well with their daughter, Anne, who is 5 years old. They are such wonderful people who helped us get acclimated to Guangzhou since they have been here since leaving Beijing. Anne's Auntie Shannon even bought me my first Starbuck's coffee here and boy was it good!
Today, it has been raining all day so we have been held up in our hotel room all day. We did take a couple walks down to the hotel lobby and restaurants to check out the menus (not much to pick from - we are about done with rice). Looks like we will have some of the noodle cups we bought and hang out some more in the room. Tomorrow is supposed to be cloudy, but no rain after morning. We hope to go back to the Island to do more shopping and bargaining - we have learned to bargain for everything!!!
Here are some pics from the last two days...
