shopping in fuzhou today

This morning we went to another big shopping mall in Fuzhou. There were several floors. We bought a few things to remember the Fujian province where Brodie was born.
There were several little shops that sold jade carvings and jewelry. This statue was carved out of jade. We stopped and talked to this cute little girl and her grandma. She had her purse and loves to shop. Brodie likes being around other kids. I can't wait to get to Guangzhou on Monday and meet back up with the other families that we met in Beijing.
It was a rainy day today, and is supposed to rain tomorrow too. We took a taxi to and from the shopping mall. I think the ride back to the hotel was the worst. You wouldn't believe the traffic here and how people drive! It is just amazing that there are not many accidents here or pedestrians run over! If we are walking, we make sure to cross the street with a bunch of the local people, just follow along with them!
Tomorrow we don't have anything planned to do. There is a small bowling alley in the basement of the hotel, we might go bowling if we get really bored! I don't know what we will have for supper tonight, pizza again? We don't have much to choose from here since the hotel is a little walk from the main streets, and there are no "american" kinds of food close by.
This afternon the rain stopped and there were several paddle boats out on the lake here. All of the flowers are so colorful and bright, and everything is so green here.
