Express Bus Terminal

I woke up when Chris got up for work. I reasoned that my chances of going back to sleep were slim, so I got up after while and worked on Julia's quilts, sewing all the strips together and ironing them. Then I had breakfast with my computer. It was after 10 when I stopped to do some vacuuming, take a shower and get ready to meet Mary Ann at the gate. She drove us over to gate 17 where we meet Ruth Ann. We took line 4 to line 7 to the Express Bus Terminal. First we saw some shops inside the station. I bought some small glass bowls with lids. Then we exited the controlled area but couldn't find the right exit. Some Korean ladies took us out exit 2 and pointed to a nearby building. There were small restaurants on the first floor. On the second floor were stalls selling bedding, fabric for bedding, and hanbok fabrics. The third floor was the flower market. Fourth floor was like the second floor. Fifth floor was some kind of wedding area. And the sixth floor was mostly empty. So we went into the basement. There we found the underground market. We walked the entire length of the market in both directions. I bought some silk flowers and spent more than Ruth did on her purse. Finally we came back on the subway, trying to beat rush hour. After dropping her at the commissary, Mary Ann dropped me at my gate. I took my flowers home and put them in the large vase I won at an AFSC luncheon over a year ago. However the scale is wrong somehow. The flowers pictured here are not the ones I bought, but they sure are cute! I got back on e-mail and started to wonder at how late Chris was. It was after 7 when he came home. We talked for while, and had some supper. Then we sat on the sofa and watched more of the CSI collection that Faye gave us for Christmas.
