Nina’s flight got in really late last night, but because our driver couldn’t go pick her up, she stayed at the airport all night! What a trooper! So this morning I rode with the driver to the airport to find her and pick her up. She was waiting at a Pizza Hut, so conveniently, I was able to get some food! Boy, was it nice to get some “real” food after all that orphanage food! I’ve realized that if you want to lose weight, you don’t need Jenny Craig or Slimfast; just go and live in an orphanage in China. You’re sure to come back a few pounds skinnier!
Nina and I decided to go explore the village in the afternoon. Bethel has a couple of tandem bikes (bikes where two people can ride at the same time), so we decided to take one of those out. The village basically just has two streets with shops and restaurants, and of course the fruit and meat stands on the sides of the road. We bought oreos and marshmallow pies, lots of fruits, and popsicles!
For some reason, people were really fascinated by our tandem bike. Everywhere we went, people would stop and ask us where we got it. Literally, people would walk up and examine our bike. It was so funny!
On the way back we passed by a HUGE field of wheat!! It’s so cool living in the countryside!
