烤肉！

Xi'an Speciality: 烤肉 (kao3 rou4) -roasted/barbecued meat (mostly lamb, beef, and if you choose a wide variety of animal parts)

The best way to enjoy some good 烤肉 is sitting outside in the evening at a picnic table with friends eating it off the skewers!!!

烤肉 restaurants or food stands are almost on every street corner!

Visiting friends

Dave and I went to visit some friends before I started back to school and before he went back to his city to work. Our friends live in a very small Tibetan town. We spent time with another couple and a family living out there.
