Saved by Pizza Hut

We were given the option this morning of either sleeping in and having the morning to eat breakfast and venture back to the ocean, or to go and see another temple on a different part of the island. Well, almost everyone, including me, decided to sleep in and take the morning off. Though several awoke and went out walking, I enjoyed sleeping in and having the morning to eat Ritz crackers, peanut butter, and water for breakfast (I wasn’t going to chance the breakfast buffet this morning). We then met as a group and departed back for Hangzhou via a boat (had a fishy lunch—I didn’t eat much), bus, ferry, and bus again. We got back “home” by 5 PM and then Jose, Katie, Jessica, and I went to Pizza Hut to try to alleviate our hunger that had built up over the past two days. We ordered lots of food and enjoyed a very western dining experience. Pizza Hut is so clean and comfortable! After dinner we made a quick run to Trust Mart for some supplies and then came back to the room for a movie and then to bed. The picture below is from Pizza Hut tonight. There are so many differences between the USA and China, but one of the funnier ones to me is the salad bar at Pizza Hut. If you buy the salad bar, you only get one trip. So, it seems to be an art form to see how high you can stack your salad on your bowl to get the most out of your one trip. The girls below did the best job of anyone we observed with a huge stack supported by cucumber and watermelon on the outside.
