Hangzhou Bronze Museum

Today, Sue brought Shawn and Cara to Hefang street to do a little shopping (and a LOT of bargaining), and then to the Bronze Sculpture Museum.

A tranquil courtyard in the famous Chinese Medicine Museum where any herb or other remedy can be had!

Tim taught today, so Sue led Shawn and Cara to the shopping area where they were inundated with Chinese wares! We were also awakened at 4am by some humongous thunder and lightning!  It lasted until 8am then rained most of the day.  The heavy rain and thunder and lightning resumed tonight about 8pm!  Hopefully it will subside while we sleep!
