Local Shopping

Today was Sunday, and we drove to a local shopping area.  It was a market with stores located along a pedestrian street as well as a multi-level mall building.  They had shoes, clothes, watches, and DVDs, but also pearls and jade.  We were on a budget, so we were mainly window-shopping.  We did find a beautiful pink jade rabbit pendant for Zoe...  $35 American!

We took some time to explore the hotel today.  There's a waterfall and koi pond in the back.  Zac loved the green space!  We're not sure he's ever experienced grass!  He was so happy, but not quite sure what to do.

As I mentioned before, we're just burning time until we get his visa docs and U.S. passport.  So Lifeline has us going somewhere just about every day.  I guess to keep us from going stir-crazy!  Tomorrow we visit the Guangzhou Zoo.  We're enjoying the time with Zac.  He is changing every day, and I think in the long run we need this time with him to build the foundation of our life together.  But, at the same time, we are just ready to come home!

Bamboo juice, anyone?
