Kashgar

The two hour jump in time and a required driving test for the lads allowed us to sleep in today. Although I must say that waking up surrounded by glittered walls and ceiling, all painted in baby blue and pink was sort of like waking up in Barbie's bedroom...without Barbie!

  

 Next we wandered the city market and some streets in the old city.  Scooters are everywhere.

 We met Tao and headed out for a city tour. The main mosque was once again unique on both design and function. The gardens were really cool. 

We ended our tour by choosing a restaurant off of an alley with no tourists. The whole meal was $10 for the four of us!

Back at the hotel we had a beer and a nap. It was now easily over 85 outside. Later in the evening we went out for dinner on the street. Noodles and chicken, a pot of tea and a beer-$2.75.  The local people are so welcoming!
