Fuzi Miao

Well I know I have been slacking a little on my posts, but Jake has had this entire week off, so we have been out and about seeing the sites in Nanjing. Jake and I had a date night about a week ago, we ate at this really good Italian restaurant called Bella Napoli. The menu was in English and the food was pretty tasty. We then headed over to Fuzi Miao where there is a Confucian Temple and a lot of places to shop. We then met up with some of Jake's friends talked with them while they ate. (There are a lot of food vendors along this path, with a lot of , lets just say interesting, smells). Then while we were eating, it started to pour down rain, Yang Yang ran and got one of the sun umbrellas to put at our table and we waited out the storm, since we hadn't bought umbrellas yet. By the time we got home our feet and pants were soaked, but it was a fun outing.

Me loving anything but Chinese food.
The street with all the shops and a lot of people.

It was hard to get a good picture because it was dark, but these are two dragons that are lit up along the river.

Yang Yang, got us these suckers that are made by drizzling the sugar stuff into different animals...we got the dragon one.
Yang Yang and Donny's friend (I can't remember her name). They had the horse and butterfly suckers
The Dragon...I wish I got to see them make this.

Wow the city is beautiful. Too bad I cant see it in person. It almost makes me want to visit. I will show Macknezee the suckers in the morning. She will love them.
