Today is Saturday, June 7.  Yesterday was fantastic.  I had a great day teaching at school.  Then, I was invited by one of the PE teachers to go swimming in the reservoir.  His name is Tang Wong but he calls himself Michael.  Betty dropped us there and we walked up 100 large steps to get to the top.  This reservoir was tucked between mountains and was full of fresh spring water.  You HAVE to wear a floatie if you swim.  It's the law.  As funny as I looked, it was ok because everyone else had them too.  Mine was a lady bug.  I figure if I had to look ridiculous, I may as well go all the way.  It was a phenomenal swim.  We floated and swam from one side of the reservoir to the other for about 2 hours.  It was refreshing and relaxing after a very long hot day.  Then, we walked through the city center and had a wonderful meal.  I had my first beer in China and it was really good.  He ordered 6 new dishes which I have never eaten here.  My goal is to try as much new food as possible.  It was incredible.  He is a very interesting man who lives here in the city with his long-time girlfriend.  His English is excellent and he is self taught.  His goal is to come and explore the states soon.
