Thursday AM Outing

We had this morning free, so we took a walk to the square near our
hotel where everyone seems to gather. It was perfect kite weather,
so . . . . . we bought a kite and string for 13 yuan - just under
$2. We picked up KFC for lunch and had some kind of a burrito wrap
with spicy chicken, hoisin sauce and assorted vegies - delicious!
The cole slaw was good too, but nothing like ours at home - it has a
lot of corn in it The drinks that came with the meal was some kind
of mango juice - yummy! 50 yuan for two meals and the popcorn
chicken - $7. Zabi enjoyed her popcorn chicken like a pro! She
loves imitating what we say now - she has no idea what she is saying,
but she is trying!

I think that I need to learn Chinese bedtime training rituals!
Around 7:30, Zabi wants me to lay a thick quilt on the floor at the
foot of my bed, she brings me her jammies to put on her, she crawls
up on the quilt, I cover her and she goes to sleep! We don't hear
anything from her until we wake her up around 7:30 in the morning!
What have I done wrong all these years!!???!!!!! Eat? Oy! 2 hard
boiled eggs (that she cracked and peeled herself), a bowl of rice,
about a pound of watermelon, 2 yogurt drinks and a little bacon this
morning.

IBoy had a blast bargaining with some vendors today. He purchased a
remote control boat and a sword. The asking price for the sword was
80 yuan. After a bit of haggling, he walked away with his sword, 40
yuan lighter! Less than $7!
