quick update Wednesday

Just quickly, on Tuesday, we hit all 3 major markets, Yashow, Silk and Pearl. Lots of bargaining, a little buying, a whole lot of craziness! Especially with a group of toddlers/preschoolers not interested in this kind of fun...
In the evening, we all went to an Acrobat show, and the kids all loved it! It was a completely different show than 2 yrs ago, better I would say. Live birds. We were not allowed to film it or photos, but they were selling the dvd which we bought; last time we video'd it, no problem, but I don't remember if they had the dvd's then.

Today, Wednesday, we did the Forbidden City. T'men Square was closed for some reason. It was extremely hot in the sun, and we all found it a bit of a struggle, strollers, tired kids. But we saw the highlights, and got a glimpse of a beautiful piece of China's history. That wiped me out for the day, and I'm hoping to do a bit more shopping tomorrow; we might also take in the Aquarium...last free day!! I'm a little sad, the time has gone so fast, but Kira is excited to go home she says. The girls are getting along really well, and have had a couple of great baths together, and of course a few minor squabbles.

Have to get the photos off the camera, and will then post those separately from today...
