Today, we visited a famous local museum dedicated solely to the Flying Tiger Airforce from WWII. The Chinese truly have a genuine admiration for what the Flying Tiger did for their country during the fighting with Japan. A famous local artist from the Chongqing University for Fine Arts also painted pictures on rice paper for each girl and wrote their names in Chinese on the picture. Very cool. They are being matted in silk and delivered to the hotel tomorrow. A great keepsake. We also visited a famous point in Chongqing where the Yangste River meets the Jialing River. Just last week there was bad flooding here in CQ, so we're very lucky it's over. We also had lunch at a local Hot Pot restaurant today. Hot Pot is a famous local dish, which is VERY spicy. Basically, they have all different meats and veggies raw on plates and you cook them in spicy soups in the middle of the table. The chicken was great!!! CJ and Karsynn enjoyed a playdate last night, while the mommy and daddy enjoyed McDonald's. They just touched and jabbered. So sweet.
