Thursday Evening

Lynea eating watermelon with chopsticks

After the CCCWA we went to a dumpling dinner and Tang dynasty dance performance. We each tasted 18 different kinds of dumplings. Some looked like regular dumplings but some looked like what was in them. For instance: we are sending a picture of a duck with duck meat, a little pig dumpling with sausage, and a very real-looking walnut which had ground walnuts in some kind of sweet filling.

There we're many different tastes and we liked most of them. The girls have actually been quite adventuresome with trying new things. Lora said she does not know half of the things she has eaten. We are all getting better with chopsticks. Sending a picture of Lynea even managing watermelon with chopsticks.

The costumes we're elaborate and beautiful, as we're the dances! Our spot in the theater was too far away to take good still pictures but we filmed it all and that turned out pretty well. Such a full day...we feel like walking zombies.
