A famous historical town built in 1378 as a military base, housing 30,000 soldiers! Today it is a tourist attraction with many restaurants and shops. The people were very friendly and curious. Our group is only the second group here for adoptions since 1991. They never see westerners and were esspecially infatuated with Alissa's light skin and hair, stopping her for pictures with them. She said she felt like a celebrity. I bought an authentic child carrier with beautiful embroidery used by busy mothers. It looks very much like an indian papoose. They strapped Faith to my back and she took a long nap. Next came a very unforgettable, scary, but customary lunch consisting of sweet and sour carp(body intact)actually very tasty if you can get past the looks of it, tofu surprise(including hearts, joints, etc..), a mistry meat that tasted like dog? YEH, we were hungry that day! Some of the smells were awful, but the country was beautiful!
