Rainy Days and Mondays

It has been raining for the past few days, and it is still raining today. The dreariness of the weather is fitting because we have both been sick and have felt dreary all of that time. I have wanted to write a new post but nothing interesting has happened unless you count the interesting colors of phlegm that I have been spitting up, yuck. (Is that yellowish green or greenish yellow?) Aside from illness, things are going well.

When we were in Chengdu, we visited the Tibetan area. It was pretty interesting. We went to a nice restaurant that served yak. It was really good. Afterwards, the xiaojie (waitress) began singing a traditional song in a very strong voice. It was beautiful, haunting, and dripping with sadness. I tried to record it but, when she realized I had a camera, she stopped. I guess she was a little shy about her voice. She had no such reservations about her dancing though. She and her co-workers treated us to a traditional dance. Amanda even got to join in.


That's all for now. Hopefully, we will get to feeling better soon and be able to get out and start experiencing things again. - Frank
