Today is the Dragon boat holiday here in China, so everyone is off (except our drivers). Today we are meeting our friends for lunch and then bringing pictures in to be framed.
We had a great time at Pete's Tex Mex restaurant, enjoying Mexican and American fair. Our friend then joined us in going to the market where they have a framing shop. The shop keeper was not there immediately, so we went around looking at some of the other shops. There were all sorts of accessories for the house and Dustin and I took mental notes, as we still need a lot of this type of stuff for the house.
The shop keeper returned, and she began working on helping us pick out frames. We had pictures that we had brought with of the family and then pictures we had picked up on our trip to Hangzhou that all needed to be framed. While we were there we also found a beautiful oil painting of the Bund (the area of Shanghai that was where all the foreign companies settled when they first arrived in Shanghai). We decided to go ahead and purchase it for our dining room.
We were so excited about our new picture, as it is the first one that is up on our walls. We have been living with large white walls since we have arrived here, and this is such a welcome change. I am looking forward to when we get our other pictures back and putting them up on the walls. It will really help to make the house more cozy and lived in.
After getting home, the boys took extremely long naps, and we finally had to wake them at 7:30 to eat dinner. We all headed to bed around 9 as we have another full day tomorrow planned.
