Okay a lot of you wanted us to try some real Chinese food so Ms. Hartley and I skipped the organized tours today-we sent Metcalfe and Lilly on those-and we went exploring on our own. We asked some locals where the market was and off we went. The market was huge, it was enclosed like our Food Lions and Krogers but once you stepped in the doors, there was no doubt that we were in a different world! Immediately inside the doors was the "meat counter." We saw baby birds on sticks, pig intestines, chicken feet, spicy duck tongue, pigs feet, and yes dog. There were even frog legs, monstrous fish, and turtles for your dining pleasure! Lilly even ate a grasshopper! Blech! We promise to share the video when we get back!
Dinner was in an authentic Schezuan restaurant. Very good! Metcalfe slept through it! But we brought him a doggy bag- no pun intended! :0
Side note: Downloading pictures is a slow process here. I keep trying to send you more pics but it's just not happening! I am sorry!
