Day 8- Another great day under our belt!! We had a good breakfast at the hotel and then we were off to the Flying Tiger Museum. The museum is very interesting, there were 4 rooms dedicated to the Flying Tigers of WW2, however the rest of the museum is an art gallery that showcases local artists. We received an interesting but brief history of the Flying Tiger squad and then an art lesson form a local artist about how to paint on Chinese rice paper. We did pick up two lovely paintings done on silk. I think they will look very nice in our dining room.

After a nice 2hr. nap we took Amie to the hotel pool. She loved it. I thought it might be too cool for her, it was too cool for me to get in but Bill seemed to enjoy it. After the pool we came back to our room to shower and go to dinner at the hotel.

After dinner we then went for a walk in the mall that is attached to our hotel. I found the mall to be pretty interesting- all very high end stores, Prada, Gucci, D&G, Calvin Klein, Versace..... there ain't no Baby Gap here!!!

Amie fell asleep during the walk and then had a hard time going to bed - we finally have gotten her down around 9pm. I'm off to bed myself- we have a big day tomorrow, we are going to the Chongqing Zoo to see the Pandas and then we are off to Guangzhou. There is a tropical storm coming that way so please pray for our safe flight in and out of Guangzhou. :)
