We started our day with a walk around the "hood". We toured the clubhouse, the park, and found the international ATM....a very important item to get cash for shopping!! We went to the local supermarket and then walked to the bird and flower/wet market. Pat bought a beautiful blue vase and we all browsed the little shops in the alley.

Pat and Arvin at the Wet Market...
Then...we drove to JinQiao to have lunch with Tim. After lunch we went on a tour of Carrafour...China's version of Fred Meyer.

Our next stop was the clinic....Pat has a very sore toe and it got worse after sitting on the airplane for 12 hours. The doctor have her two options....(Option A) remove part of the toe nail TODAY!! Yikes!! OR....(option B) take some antibiotics and see if it improves....then she can either have the toe nail removed in China when they come back from Sri Lanka or have it removed when they get back to the US. She choose option B!!!

We picked up Abi from school and came home to Xiao Zhang's warm chocolate chip cookies! We are soooooooo spoiled!
