The main objective of today was to wait to hear the results of yesterday's TB test. If it was positive then we'd have to go back to the clinic for a chest x-ray. Thankfully it was negative. This gave us a lot of time for other adventures.
This morning we took a cab to the pearl market, an amazing shopping complex with hundreds of stores. It's not just pearls but every stone imaginable. Super fun to walk around there. A lot of stores just had one color stone - the blue stone store, the yellow stone store, the pink stone store - you get the picture.
This evening all the families went out for a nice meal at a local restaurant. Our guides ordered food for us - really good! After dinner, Todd and I wanted to pick up some green tea leaves so one of the guides navigated us down some back streets to a great local tea shop. On the way there we saw a small hair dressing shop and our guide reminded me that I had said I wanted to get my hair cut. I figure that I'll have more time here than when I get home. So I went in and showed the guy a picture of what I wanted and for about $3.00 I got a haircut! Keep watching over the next few days to see if I get a good "after" picture. Unless it's too hot and I have my signature ponytail look.
Valerie had a pretty good day. Not too many screaming fits - but a few.
