Pearl Market and River Cruise

Today we spent the morning at the pearl market and the evening
on a dinner cruise on the Pearl River.  We had a brief appointment
at the clinic to check Q's TB skin test (negative). 

Fun was had by some at the pearl market (meaning mom was the
only one having fun). :-) We were asked by a friend to buy some
pearls for them and S tried on one of the finished necklaces to show
her what she can expect.  We hope you like it, D! :-)

Picking a strand of pearls.

A strand for S (eat your heart out).

Q spied a fun toy to ride on while mama shopped.

The Pearl River cruise was an hour and a half long.  We had dinner on the boat as the sun went down.  Once it was dark, many of the bridges and towers were lit up with multicolored lights.  It was really cool.  Check out the pictures, but they don't do justice.

Tomorrow is a free day.  We will do some shopping (squeaky shoes, etc.) and Red Couch pictures in the afternoon.

(R) That river cruise looks really fun. We don't recall seeing that opportunity. Ah well. Glad you enjoyed it. Our room faced the river and we saw all those wild lights every night. It was cool.
