Today we started the morning off at the toy market and then we toured the Chen House. We went there last year so it really wasn't that big of a deal this year. We had our guide drop us off at the market place where we ventured out from McDonalds and had...Pizza Hut for lunch! It was really good and tasted very much like home. We had ice cream later as you saw from the pics below.
Then on the walk home, we passed a hair salon. So Sheila and I ventured forth and we both had our hair cut by the salon where no one spoke English. It was certainly an adventure. We started with about a 30 minute shampoo and head massage, then we had a full cut and style. All for a whopping $5 bucks! Hey we even tipped and left for under $10 each. They did a great job especially for the money. We may even go back just for the shampoo and style.
We wrapped up the evening with a dinner cruise down the river. It was great and we had alot of fun. The food was edible and we really enjoyed the event. We managed to hail a taxi back to the hotel and all was well with the world. It was so exciting Faith even pooped tonight :) YEAH!
Speaking of pooped, we all are so I am going to retire and go to bed. Thanks for all the kind comments and thoughts and prayers from everyone. We are starting to miss home about now :(

You all are brave! A haircut when you can't really tell them what you want? Maybe we (the big girls and I) will be that brave! By the time we found the Pizza Hut in Xian (after almost a week of ONLY CHinese food) it was the best pizza I had ever eaten! Thanks for posting!
Yep, that squatty potty on the boat thing was too much for me....you really have to be up on your balancing skills! Looks like you are all having fun. Enjoy your time together in China!

God blesses those that trust in Him. You guys are the prime example of that! Wow!! I am so amazed by your journey and impressed by your courage. You can see the joy of the Spirit all over your faces. It anyone doubts there is a God has not see your pictures or read your blog. Faith is not only VERY precious, she is so aptly named! We are continuing to pray everyday for you all.
