The first was mostly spent flying to Beijing and connecting up with GranB. After we left the airport, we headed to our hotel. When we booked our hotel, I was a little worried because it was a Chinese hotel and it cost less than $100 a night, but once we got there, I was impressed. It was a really nice hotel with Western standards and nice beds. It was also centrally located so everything was close by. After we checked in, we decided to venture out and try the Silk Market out. The silk market was incredible. It was 6 stories high with every floor dedicated to something. We went straight to the 4th floor where they had endless amount of beads for sale. GranB likes to make necklaces so we wanted to make sure she got some. WOW!! Can I just say I have never seen so many necklaces and beads. They had every type you could think of. It was overwhelming, but fun. After you selected them, then you had to bargain a price. Here is a picture of GranB and Avery in front of the beads and Cohen tired from the day. We ended our day eating at a western place called Sarpinos pizza place. For those of you in Humble, this was the same pizza company they have there! I never ate it in Humble, but now I can say I have eaten it before!!
