In addition to her job teaching English, Mui also tutors students in English on Saturdays.  Four of her students stopped by and had a great time with Gianna and Portia.

Saturday afternoon we visited Li Ying's apartment.  She is such a wonderful hostess and keeps an immaculate apartment.  We are so proud for her!!

Two sweeties!

Okay, so this one's a little ornery!  She put the creme from the middle of a cookie on her face.

Li Ying made tea.

Next, we went to the beach.  It was a little cool and windy, but we still had a great time!!








These people are digging for something to eat.  Ewww!!

Our plane left a 1:40 pm on Sunday, so we just hung out Sunday morning and went to the market to buy noodles, which Mui's mom used to prepare a meal for us.

Fresh noodles!!
