A Family Walk to the Park

It has been a wonderful afternoon.  We, Paul, Lisa, Kerry and Sarah, took a stroll to the park.  But we first went past a restaurant that specialises in dumplings.  But all vegetable.  No meat.  When you ask for pork, we got tofu pork.  But it was delicious all the same. We were also served cabbage soup, but what it is is the water the cabbage is cooked in.  It tastes like dirty water, so none of us drank it.

We really enjoyed the dumplings.

When we walked in everyone stopped and stared at first.  Then there was a scurry to assist us.  And they did.  The lady that seemed in charge was on the phone and a little while later, a gentleman whom I think was her husband arrived.  He sat down and introduced himself and started speaking in the little English that he knew.  We ordered 3 plates of dumplings so we could all share them.  Needless to say, there were twenty dumplings per plate.  We ate, we enjoyed and we were satisfied when we left.  The owner did ask us to please come back soon.  And we will.

Then once outside the wind was terrible.  It was cold and bone chilling.  But we headed to the park to walk off the food we had just eaten.  It was lovely spending time together and taking some family photos.  We didn't know it, but we had walked for 2 hours.

So busy taking photos we did not see the bridge move.

    

  
Rushing now to get off.

  
Thank goodness it was chained to the walkway and didn't go far.

Eventually we landed up a Si Ma Ter (RB Mart).  Went and bought a few things and then caught a taxi back home.  This was definitely a day well spent.
