Flower Market Visit, 2/8/14

We’ve decided to go to the Dragonfly Resort today, and get a massage.  It snowed a little more last night, so we spent time debating how badly we wanted to go out.  We decided to brave the cold and the slush.  I went to Dragonfly back in November and walked away hurting.  I didn’t hurt quite as much today.  Judy actually came out feeling really good.  I’m always surprised how the masseuse can find the muscles that are the most sensitive, and then keep working on it, while I try to act like it’s no problem.

After the massage, we ate at Fatburger, a burger chain based out of Las Vegas.  It was a nice slice of the US.  While we ate, Judy was talking about finding a few decorating items for the apartment.  I knew there was a flower market, near the Marriott, so I took her.  I had never been inside.  It was huge, and much more than a flower market.  There were vendors and shops, silk flowers, live plants and flowers, furniture, and so many kinds of home decorating knick knacks.  Like the other markets in Beijing, there is a marked price, but that’s only a starting point.  We found a nice little fountain to sit on a table in the apartment.  Judy found some colorful plants that will liven up the living room.
