After breakfast at 7:30 A.M.
and inspection by Chinese
doctor went ashore about
9. A.M. Walked over railroad
tracks to the street – then about
a block to the ferry which we took
to go down town –
A queer??? old town the building
look so old. On the principal
street the building look
substantial – but the side
streets leading off are the
typical Chinese crowded
unsubstantial buildings
huddled close to-gether each
side of the street.
Went to the Post Office where
we mailed our letters – then
walked along the street
looking in the windows.
Came to an attractive one
part goods + curios – We went
in and I purchases two
strings of tiny pearl beads
very nice looking.
