Didn’t get up until 7am today, so we must be adjusting. Tested out the “Chinese style breakfast” at the hotel. It was great, but our stomach couldn’t handle the rice porridge (hard to describe…kind of like warm, eggy liquid, with floating bits in it (like cream of wheat, but very runny) . Weren’t sure if we should add sugar or salt, so did neither.


We loved our pickles, cookies, steamed bread, hot soybean milk, fried breadstick and boiled eggs. Got back on the internet and talked with our families and Kevin and Tim. More site planning. Decided to get outside and bought a drink at the grocery store and headed to the foreign bookstore to get a map, since ours is only in Chinese. Found a good one of all of China, not a ton of detail, but it had both Chinese and English, so we thought we could use it in conjunction with the other road map we already have. Packed up to leave tomorrow and sussed out the bikes, should be ready to go tomorrow…
