Tonight, Alison and I took Biou and Wenbo to dinner over at Mid-Town. We ended up eating at a new restaurant/bar called the Filling Station (we had originally planned on taking them to the Winery but it had closed). They had the game on one of the big screens and we ended up talking about their first FSU football game experience. Wenbo said that she kind of liked it but would have enjoyed herself more if she had better understood the rules of the game. We all went over the menu together and ended up each ordering something different so that we could all share. I’ve quickly learned that Biou is very interested in naming each of the ingredients in her food so we spent a good deal of time going over what was in everyone’s food.
After dinner we took the girls over to Lake Ella so that they could walk around for a bit. It was actually a really pretty night and we talked as we walked around the lake. They filled us in on what life was like for them back home versus what they’re experiencing here. They taught us a couple of words in Chinese, the word for crane and friend. We took pictures and listened to the old gentleman playing the drums in the gazebo. We walked around for a bit more discussing the different trees and ducks and then made our way back to my car to go home.
Sounds like a quintessential Tallahassee day ;)
