Yesterday (Sunday for us), we had an off day. Nothing was officially scheduled, so we took the opportunity to get out and about.

It was still very cold (32) with a good wind, but it wasn't sleeting anymore. However, everything was still very much frozen. We saw one lady slip and fall flat on her backside. I still cringe when I think about it. We had to be extra careful as we navigated down the streets.

Our friends, the Moores, went with us. We headed down to where the Pizza Hut is located because we saw a bunch of shops and thought there might be another restaurant.

We found several places to eat which were selling "food", but nothing we cared to try. We walked a few blocks past the Pizza Hut and finally decided to give up.

So we ate at Pizza Hut again!

Once again the pizza was pretty good, and we all ended up good and stuffed.

The funny thing is I don't even like Pizza Hut back in the States, but here, it tastes great.

Now if I can just get my hands on a big, greasy hamburger....

We were talking yesterday about how sad it is how much our life revolves around food. The lack of familiar food can affect your mood. It's really odd.

Anyway, the walk back was interrupted by shopping here and there. It sure felt good to be back in our room to thaw out. Oh, bonus points, we managed to avoid the Nanny Police today. I guess we had Mei bundled up enough for the old ladies.

But, we head to Guangzhou today and with it, food closer to my heart.

Next stop: Guangzhou...then home.

We miss everyone more than you can imagine, especially our wonderfully, awesome kids. Nathan, Charlie and Madi, we are coming home soon. I love you!
