Monday in Guangzhou

Monday we got ourselves together pretty quick and went over to Shamain Island. We dropped off our laundry (at Michael's - fabulous job and great prices) then met the other families. They were getting their sons (5 & 9) TB tests read. All kids over two have to have one. They checked out ok. We all then went off island and went to a neat shopping street. First it was the type of herb and animal market you hear about but then there was a nice pedestrian area. One family went back but the other family (Tom, Amy, daughter Sophia and new son Emmerson) hung out with us. We shopped, I haggled, then we left. It was just too darn hot. We ate at the Cow and Bridge, a Thai place with them on the island. It was very yummy. Then a quick shop and back to hotel.

We went swimming again. This time there were a few other families there. It was fun, getting to know some of them. Teagan missed her afternoon nap. So once we bathed and we ready for happy hour she was so tired! Sure enough, dead asleep when we got there. Luckily it was a cat nap enough for us to enough some adult time and a great glass of wine. The food was amazing again and they really switched things up. Teagan woke up in time to get some dinner. Back to the room and to bed a bit earlier.

Just a stroll down the herb street - my doggie pal Darwin would like it there, dried out deer hooves and leg sections.

The swanky ladies: Amy, Sophia and Monique

Emmerson and Teagan at the Cow and Bridge. He likes spicy food.

Daddy and Teagan cooling off in pool.

Dead to the world at happy hour.......

Don't even think about getting between me and my dinner!

Awww...nice of you to think of Darwin, but he prefers his deer parts locally sourced!
