That small yellow dot on the left is Zac as he is sketching early in the morning in XiTang
I took Penny with me so that she could help us navigate the second part of the weekend at XiTang, an ancient water town. I think I can do the trains by myself because they are posted on the Internet in English so I can print it out and point when buying tickets but I still can’t do the buses without help. Penny also found us a really nice traditional style hotel in XiTang with 2 bedrooms and one bath for less than 70 dollars a night. We stayed over night so we could take photos at sunset and then got up early and got the staff to unlock the hotel so we could take pictures at sunrise. We joined lots of college age Chinese students with really fancy cameras doing the same thing.
Side Note: Just finished a great dinner - Andrea and I went on a long walk (in the rain) and ate some of the best street food. It was sort of like a pita –but Chinese style. It had Chicken WITH NO BONES (always a pleasant surprise in China) with garlic shoots and a semi spicy brown sauce. Yum – I am going back there….
