Day 8 - Free day , Group Dinner

Today was a "free day" to do whatever we wanted. The rain limited what we could do so we ended up going back to Walmart and spending most of the day in the hotel, which turned out to be a great. It gave us uninterupted time with Lize and she is simply incredible. She's like a flying squirrel in our room, full of energy and talks non stop. She has many facial expressions all worth a million dollars each. We really miss the kids but knowing their in the hands of great family and friends makes the distance and time seem a little shorter.

Here's a picture of Lize in our hotel room. She was using her crayons to write and draw pictures.

Here's a picture of Lize on our trip back to Walmart. We took some time to see the "rare" live items they sell which included octopus, squid, frogs and many varities of fish.

We had a group dinner at a very nice authentic Hong restaurant. The restaurant is ran by Hong people and after dinner there was entertainment. The Hong people have no written language and must learn it by listening to the adults as children. Here are a few pictures of the restaurant, the group at dinner (including a dance and shots of rice wine for all) and the Hong people who entertained us.

After dinner it was back to our hotel for a little rest before our planned activities for tomorrow. Here's a picture of our hotel at night:
