Restaurants

Adopting Lexi was certainly the most exciting or interesting activity we experienced in China.  The restaurants were also an interesting aspect of China.   Normally, all of us would eat lunch and dinner together as a group.  Our adoption agency organized and paid for these meals.  Typically, the restaurants we ate at would put several plates of food on a lazy Susan and we would just eat whatever looked good.  Yes, Chinese food in China is different than the Chinese food we have in the US. 

	I mainly took this picture because the shrimp still had their eyes.
	Our first meal together in China was eaten at this restaurant.
	Two of the adoptive families received their babies on the day we arrived.
	We all tried to use chop sticks.  Thankfully, most restaurants provided us with cutlery too.
	I hear whole shrimp are full of protein.
	Most restaurants provided us with a bowl of steamed eggs for the babies.   Top
	After we got Lexi and left the CAB office we went to this restaurant.
	They had various types of meat prepared in the kitchen.
	I'm not sure what the "sea-creature looking" piece of meat is in the center of this picture.  Someone in our group thought it might be a turtle.
	We ate at a buffet that had steamed fish heads with pepper.  If you don't believe me look closely at the card next to the dish.
	Lexi patiently waits for lunch to be served.
	What could be better than lunch and a nap?
	Some days it was quite warm during our stay in China.
