When I arrived in China, I settled in a hotel in Beijing while Victoria Leigh was working. It was thrilling to see the sights and sounds of this new-to-me, vast land. There was beauty to be seen all around in the rich culture and artwork.
I enjoyed lovely lamp lights being reflected in the window as I had dinner and looked out, waiting for Victoria to finish teaching and arrive. I remember thinking:
Tick-tock,
Come on clock!
I was so excited to see my China Doll!
The menu at the restaurant was a hoot! Choices I did not pick:
Silver Carp Head
Griddle Cooked Donkey Meat
Duck Feet
What I did order:
Vegetables with Egg, otherwise known as “Grandma Food!”
Look up, my friends. There is beauty all around!
