Within the last 20 years Northern China has started to experience more Dust Storms as the adjacent Desert region has expanded. We started to see the dust on Sunday and it was in full force by Monday morning.
We spent all day in the office working on our project and then headed out to dinner in Xian's Muslim district.
They sell all sorts of food on the street here and we sampled some persimmon patties before dinner (very good).
Dinner itself was at a Muslim restaurant with some really good lamb, chicken and beef dishes. We also had a tower of soup dumplings that you have to bite into and slurp out the soup before eating. Since it was a Muslim restaurant, there was no toasting.
After dinner we toured another street market and walked back to the hotel (maybe a couple of miles or two dumplings worth of calories).
I bet you were glad to have a relief from toasting! We miss you!
