Today Rachael got her first taste of America. We went to McDonald's and we bought her a Happy Meal. She was so tired she slept through lunch. That is rare for her as she is quite an eater. She later ate her nuggets and drank her apple juice. After Mc Donald's she got to go shopping at a Wal-Mart Super Store. Her first of many trips there I am sure. She bought a new rattle and two beautiful church dresses. The prices here are amazing. We were able to buy a new shirt for a dollar. Her dresses (nice frilly ones) were four dollars. Dress pants for men are under a dollar. We paid 60 cents for a cute cup for Rachael. Last night we went out to eat with other families. We ate family style with shrimp, beef, veggies, rice, sweet and sour tofu, deep fried pumpkin, fried fish with watermellon, mushroom stir-fry, Kung Pao chicken, congee and drinks. For our family the total cost was $9. Can't beat that!
Dan and I are being very adventurous in eating. At breakfast this morning, there was chicken foot salad on the buffet. And yes we tried it! It was basically chicken feet cooked in soy sauce and served cold. We couldn't figure out how you would eat it, so we just nibbled it a little. It was mostly skin and bones. Needless to say, we did not go back for seconds on that one. Most of the food has been great. We discovered that if you cook tofu correctly, it is really good.
