Today we ventured in our first Chinese taxi and traveled to the Pearl Market in the LiWan Plaza in Guangzhou. It actually was a decent trip there and the shopping experience was good. Of course we made a few purchases and Meredith even ended up with a baby bracelet of strung tiny little freshwater pearls. (Gee, thanks for starting that Aunt Terri)!! Jenni Lin and Lily also got matching "baby bling" to wear for the red couch photos.
They have wonderful gems and red coral at this market also. I say market, but really it is a 7 story building packed with wholesalers and jewelry design shops. Some of you ladies back home would go crazy....you know who you are! I would love to go back tomorrow if we have time.
After lunch Eric and Meredith went to the room for a nap and I went out on Shamian Island to shop around for a few more gifts to take home.
We had a group dinner at the Cow and Bridge Thai restaurant. I think the food there is really good - we had lunch there a few days ago. Meredith dined on steamed bean curd and broccoli plus most of my Thai steamed veggies and seafood. Eric had Thai BBQ'd shrimp which she probably would've liked, too (being a spicy Hunan girl and all), but we all know that Eric does not share well and so far, that has not changed!
