Taco Tuesday

Our day started out with going to a 6 story flea market. Everything in China is in stories because there are so many building they have to build upwards! It was an interesting shopping trip and our guide only gave us 2 hours so we had to shop fast! We found a few items we were looking for and a few more we didn't need!

In the afternoon Steve and Jack went to a park to play ping pong with some of the locals. For any of you that have played Jack in ping pong, you know that he is pretty good. Today, he was humbled. It is true that the Chinese are good at ping pong!

We went on an adventure for dinner. One of the families heard of a Mexican restaurant and many of us were excited to have something besides fried rice and noodles. We took a taxi which is always interesting when you don't speak the same language-especially when the cab driver doesn't know where he's going! We finally made it to the restaurant and ate all you can eat tacos and wow were they delicious!! Not sure if they were so good because it was really that good or because it was something new! Either way, we all filled our bellies and walked around for a bit. Unfortunately on the way back I had to sit in the front of the taxi which, let me say it again....I cannot believe we have not gotten in an accident yet. There is no drinking age in China and I'm certain no driving rules!

After the big dinner we burned off some of the calories by swimming. Ruby really likes the water and gets a little too comfortable in it. She was exhausted tonight and fell asleep while I was buttoning her pjs. That was easy!
