Today was truly a day of sightseeing. We woke up around 6:30 and after a hearty breakfast consisting of fried dough sticks, we set on our way to a boat tour of the Lee River. It was absolutely breathtaking! We were surrounded by local people in boats, water buffalo and horses. We even went to the place where the picture on the 20 yuan bill was taken. While on the boat we were very adventurous by trying different foods such as snails. They weren't that bad!
After our 5 hour boat cruise, we did some damage shopping on the West Street. There we found tons of stores selling jewelry, clothes, bags, and our new favorite obsession, passion fruit! To end our relaxing day, we had dinner filled with different foods such as chicken, noodles and vegetables.
The trip is coming to and end and we are all trying to suck up every last minute of China. We will see you on Sunday!
