Free Day

 Today was a free day for us.  We were just waiting on Johanna's passport to be processed.  So we made contact with Jonathan & Katie, our friends from home who live about 3 hours from here.  They drove over to meet us with their 4 children.  We were quite the attraction.  We went to a nearby park and got to feed some pigeons.

After the  park we headed over to a restaurant that serves Weejun food.  This is a minority group in Ch!na that is primarily Musl!m.  The food was really yummy.  There was a flatbread that was baked in a earthen kiln right out on the the sidewalk.  And one of the meat dishes we had were these little BBQ Skewers.  They are cooked out on the sidewalk as well.  They were my favorite. 


 After dinner we went to a night market.  It was a side street set up with all kinds of vendors.  Everything from Crocs to Puppies.  The kids did a little shopping and we enjoyed looking at all the bargains.  But it was crowded.
Here we all are.  At one point we all drove in one car from the restaurant to the market and then later back to the hotel.  The car only seats 5, but has a small hatchback/cargo space.  Only here could we get away with that!
Tomorrow we depart for Guangzhou.  We will be there to do all the immigration red tape.
