Giant Jelly Beans and Roasted Duck
August 3, 2015
By Christian
Our last night in Dalian, I had
a bad dream that there was a giant jelly bean that was about to eat me. I cried
and woke up Taylor and he took me to my mom and dad’s room. My mom came and sat
by me until I felt better.
We woke up early and got on a
train to Beijing. We had a table between our chairs and we played Skip-bo. The
train took a long time (six hours). After our skip-bo game, I played on my
kindle and watched Rescue Bots. Sarah Ann played a never-ending Skip-bo game by
herself.
At the Beijing train station,
someone from my dad’s work came and picked us up. We came to an apartment we
had rented that is kind of like a hotel room.

Then we went to a restaurant to
eat a duck (Peking Roasted Duck – famous in Beijing). They dip it in sugar. I
wanted more sugar on mine. I liked the duck. We wrapped it in a tortilla with
some sauce to eat. We ate other things too. Then we drove home with my dad’s
co-worker but our car got stuck in traffic for a long time.

Christian, sorry about your dream. Do they eat jelly beans in China? I can hardly wait to hear about your Beijing adventures. I hope you get to walk on the great wall and visit the Forbidden City. Miss you tons! Love grandma Albrecht
ReplyDeleteWe're also sorry about your dream, Christian. We have a fun Jelly Belly Factory here that would scare away any bad dreams! Your Peking Roasted Duck sounds delicious! Looking forward to seeing you soon! Love, Grandma and Grandpa Huber
