Xiang Embroidery Museum

January 11, 2004

Finally today we got to visit the famous embroidery museum. We saw some beautiful pieces and saw ladies that were working on several pieces that they said would take years to complete. One lady was working on a portrait of a man that she's been working on for 2 years! We bought a panda embroidered on light green silk for Jaden's room and a book about Hunan embroidery that has some samples of the different styles in it. On the way back from the factory, we stopped at McDonald's and were SO happy! We both got Big Macs, fries and they even had fried apple pies! It was the best meal we'd had in many days. This afternoon we have more paperwork to do and then we'll go to our last group dinner at a local restaurant. We are looking forward to changing locations tomorrow and we feel we've been here long enough and will be one step closer to home!
