We went to a place called "White Cloud Mountain" today--or rather I should say I walked (Kathleen) up a mountain 1.5 miles carrying Autumn in the carrier. Guy walked carrying the backpack which weighs as much as Autumn. It was very beautiful--however, there was some fog so you couldn't see the city too good. Autumn caught the attention of lots of Chinese people during our walk--when our group stopped for a break the people would almost mob us wanting to talk and touch the babies. I imagine and hope that they are so happy that these precious babies are getting a chance to have a good life. Many of the shopkeepers around here say how lucky she is--we respond with "WE are the lucky ones."
We went to a restaurant that served Cantonese cuisine--our guide who is Cantonese told us that the Chinese have a saying that "the Cantonese will eat anything that flies but an airplane and anything with four legs but a chair." Guy and a couple of the guys from our group decided to try roast baby pigeon. It wasn't too bad--I had a small bite. When you first walk in the place they have everything in buckets--beetles, snake, toads, silkworms, aquariums with fish, and dead pigeons hanging on hooks waiting to be ordered and cooked. Very interesting to say the least!
