A short walking distance from our hotel there is a small church where they hold Christian church services in both Chinese and English. It was interesting listening to the hymns sung in Chinese then English. The Preacher spoke in short sentences to allow an interpreter to translate into English. The prayers and donations were all for the earthquake victims. Very sad.
A quick sandwich for lunch and off to the jade and pearl markets. We met Catherine’s son, Cormack. He is seven years old. Catherine must have really talked Crystal up to him as he stuck to Crystal the entire time. Everyone here has taken to Crystal, just like back home, I’m liked until you meet Crystal. Cormack is such a gentleman and flirt. At one point it started to sprinkle rain so he took his cap off and offered it to Crystal. Anyway there they were Crystal and Cormack off jade and pearl shopping while Madeline and I stayed away from the crowds and watched. Well I watched as Madeline fell asleep. Get used to this Madeline, you need to stay awake and act like you enjoy shopping.
Dinner was back at the “Cow and Bridge” Thai restaurant, it is really good, and then more bartering for gifts on our way back to the hotel. Off to sleep now.
