A trip to the Countryside

Today Colette, Luz and I went on a trip to the 'Countryside' (this means anything not in Tieling City) with Low Low and her Art Class. Low Low is Luz' good friend and the trip was to the home of her Art teacher.

Luz had a class early in the morning so Low Low and her friend (aka 'Big Carrot' as he's quite tall...)collected Colette and I at 8am for the trip. We went there by taxi and it took us about 20 minutes to reach our destination.

We were greeted by the gate by the biggest dog I have seen here so far. 'Big Black' was very vocal in her greeting of the newcomers.

We met some of Low Low's classmates and went for a short walk along the edge of the town reservoir.

For lunch we tried barbeque local style which was very tasty and quite spicy. Of course I managed to spill some all over myself!

Low Low's teacher has built a lovely home in the countryside and was very kind to welcome us there today. One of the nicest parts of the garden was a small hut built on the highest point of the block of land. It was great to sit in the hut and talk to some of Low Low's classmates and enjoy the view.
