At this point, I want to say something about Matt and Renee's hospitality. Not only did they put up with three tough old birds (who are very opinionated), but they opened their house to us, moving the kids from their bedrooms, paying for our taxi and subway cards, and picking us up from the airport in a private van. They treated us royally.
Wow.
Then, on day #1, while Renee was still in the hospital, they arranged and paid for a fancy 2-hour whole body and foot massage at a fancy massage place called the Dragonfly.
The young lady massaged Carol, the young man worked on Auntie. You also see a photo of Carol cool, calm, and collected before, and a photo of her after she's been stretched, pummeled, and massaged on every square inch of her jet lagged body.
Thanks, Matt and Renee. We'll never forget these days with you in a very special country.
Thumb Plaza, where we shopped almost daily.
Looking for Carre Four, a comb, and a soft drink! We then headed for the hospital to visit Renee. Paul took a nap on the floor, and the kids mistook him for a jungle gym. I was mesmerized with the super clean marble and tile bathroom. Double wow!
Next stop, a walk through the neighborhood and our first authentic Chinese meal.
