Carrefour

Matthew and I went out looking for shoes for him yesterday. I also saw a dress from the bus a couple days ago and liked it so we stopped and found it. I still liked it and even though it was an extra large, I tried it on. It fit me and so I got it. I think it was labeled wrong as it looked like it was the same size as the other dresses which were medium. Now I just need for it to get warm again so I can wear it.

We thought that maybe we would find shoes at Carrefour or in the area but everything was pretty expensive. Jade was 5000 yuan for a bracelet. They didn't have any shoes Matthew liked either. It is cold again here. I thought I was dressed appropriately but after we ate lunch it felt even colder outside. We went back to Carrefour, the grocery store part, and started looking for things we might take with us to the village. Jinpeng thinks we should pack some food to take with us in case we don't get enough to eat. I got a sweater and Matthew got some long underwear as it really cold. After we got out of Carrefour we were thinking of going to get my pants from the tailor but when I called her she said she was out and to come another day. Matthew was also wanting to get back so we got on a bus and came back to the apartment for an early night and a movie.

Today Matthew and I went and got lunch at Salvador's and picked up my pants. They fit well and I like them. I am hoping that they will still fit when I get back to the States and gain some weight back.Walking to the tailor's we saw a dog dressed in a leopard suit. It was pretty cute. A bunch of girls stopped to try and help Matthew take a picture of it. The dog would not look at him so the girls tried to get it's attention. Walking to the bus stop we saw a little shoe shop and Matthew found a pair of knock off Nike's. I saw some fake Converses I liked but my feet were too big. It was sad. The sun came out again and it started to get warm. Matthew and I decided that instead of going to Wal Mart to get some things we needed that we would go back to Carrefour and get them there just to get it over with.

We cooked some dinner and started getting ready for our trip to the village. Jinpeng says that it will be cold there at night so I am not sure how much to pack in the way of warm clothes. Also, Matthew and I have not decided whether or not we will stop in Dali on the way back so we are taking a duffel bag with a change of clothes.
