Day 19 - Friday July 10, 2009: Day Trip

Had a 1-on-1 with Todd this morning - went fine.  Dominos pizza for lunch.  Then Luke helped us make plans for the weekend, gave us money, and put us on a train to Yingge, a pottery town.

Met a woman on the train and we (CKE, her and I) discussed how to make "Koala Cookies" - she must think Americans are crazy.

Yingge was hot.  Walked around lloking at pottery but were too afraid to buy anything for fear of getting ripped off.  Geoff and I were searching for pottery for our mothers (at their request/demand), but had no idea what to look for.  It was a nice day and we ordered more food ourselves in chinese: pork fried rice.  It was pretty good.

Packed ourselves into a sardine can for the ride back to Hukou - after listening to a crazy woman talk to herself for 20 minutes.

Once at Hukou we got a Mango smoothies (CKE got a California smoothie which unfortunatly had chunks) then got a cab back to our apartment to get some rest before our early morning - we are heading to Alli San Mountain at 6:45; too bad it is 11:45 and I am still trying to get posts on this blog!
