Today, March 7 for those wondering, included a stop at Tianxing Park and the Hunan Embroidery Museum of China (Yawn!). As we dressed Sarah for her day, Mikel choose a new pair of shoes for Sarah to wear - squeeky shoes. Once Sarah put foot to ground and heard the squeek, fireworks went off in her head. The world's greatest invention, no doubt. For those out of the know, squeeky shoes, which are typical in China, do just as you would figure, they squeek as the child walks. Sarah was quite delighted and we walked her to breakfast in them and turned a lot of heads. One couple who did not purchase a pair yesterday at Wal-Mart plans to get a cab back to Wall-Mart, they were so impressed.
Above, Mikel and Sarah in Tianxing Park. Please note the men playing chess and ladies doing Tai Chi to Mikel's left. There is an entrace fee for the park; however, folks 60 and over are admitted free.
Craig, Sarah and Mikel in Tianxing Park. It was a cool, crisp day, weather wise.
At the padoda in Tianxing Park. See how the bottom lip curls on Sarah. That is our warning that she is not crazy about her present state. She is still holding the candy.
At the Hunan Embroidery Museum of China, Mikel is trying on a silk outfit for Sarah. I don't recall were the museum part of the complex was, just the stuff for sale.
After we returned from our outing, we had lunch at the hotel and Sarah shared our fried rice and had some congi (kinda like rice oatmeal). She just awoke from her nap and we must go. Pizza tonight, which will make Mikel happy as the Hunan food is quite spicy and she longs for Americana.
