Saturday morning Riley and Kathy set out to the Dirt Market. I stayed back with the boys b/c i was tired. The dirt market is one of riley's favorite places-he always comes back with some unusual treasures:) They spent all morning there bargaining for treasures for them both...I think Kathy finished her gift shopping which was nice. She found some nice authentic gifts for friends and family.
That night we went to HoHai lake and ate at the famous Hutong Pizza place. This little hutong is famous for its square pizza-and it sure was good! We wanted to walk around the lake a little bit and do some shopping, but it was too cold for the boys so we decided to go back to the streeet where we did our hutong cooking class and check out the local stores. Very cute boutique-like shops. Some very unique chinese gifts can be found if you are willing to look. We stayed for a bit and then headedhome. Kathy and I treated ourselves to our second massage of the week-earlier in the week we went to the neighboring compound to get one but this time we went to a little nicer place. We both enjoyed our massages although neither of us had the guts to speak up to our massage therapist and tell him/her "TOO HARD!" So we both walked away a little sore-but thought we would feel better in the morning.
Sunday we were scheduled to go to the Summer Palace, but it was TOOOOOOOOOO cold and kathy said she was ok just lounging around. We went to Wal Mart so Kathy could get some Chinese candy for her 3rd grade kids back in Minnesota. We had a relaxing evening at home and watched a movie b/c Kathy's flight left early in the morning. It was so great having her here-WE LOVE VISITORS:)
