Jade and Pearl Market

The girls went shopping and the guys went to play golf.
Marcy, Emily, Hannah and I went to the Jade and Pearl Markets today. It was the most crazy thing I think I have ever seen. The was Jade everywhere. I got a few things and I mean few. We didn't have a lot of time there. It was really hot to. There were little shops with in a very large area. People buying jade from all over the world. The pearl market was the same way. I did buy pearls. This shopping experience today reminded me of when my parents and aunt would go to the garment district in Los Angles to buy clothes and jewelry for the clothing store they owned. People where bartering everywhere. I was a neat HOT experience.
David and Jacob went to play golf and a really nice golf course. They even had their own caddies! David took some amazing pictures of the course. I will post them later. They had a lot of fun. They got caught in a massive rain storm and had to take cover for awhile because of the lighting and rain.
That is about all for today.
Tomorrow we have to go have Hannah's visa picture taken and then off to the zoo with our group.

JADE and PEARLS!!! What more can a girl ask for...oh, diamonds!!!! I bet Emily LOVED all the jewelry! Hope it was better than the jewelry in Flagstaff or somewhere near their, Emily! Remember how bad you said it was. I bet the jade is beautiful. Wonder where in China all of it comes from? Hey, Jake, maybe you can dive in that river, like the guy in the photo, and swim to the ocean and find us some more pearls!!! Looks like a good work out program. Will get you all ready for football!!!
