July 15th in China, Hard Rock Cafe!
I had another break day this day because I am working the cycling event and our training hadn't begun yet. Some of my friends however weren't as lucky. So I slept in a little bit too and then headed over to the laundromat to pick up my laundry. When I got back and got cleaned up my roomie and I decided to go find some dinner. We were trying to find a new restaurant but we were so hungry that we just ended up walking to the restaurant on campus called Water Stone Coffee. I had ate there once before and it was pretty good. I was able to go eat with Blair because she and I are both working cycling. I had already tried the pizza there so Blair decided to try it, I on the other hand tried the seafood pasta. It was excellent, it had scallops, oysters and shrimp in it. After lunch I read a little bit and cleaned my room. Then I got a phone call from one of the girls saying that some people were going to the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner, so I was pumped to go. I had been wanting to check that place out and get a shirt, and I thought I could handle one more American meal. :) So we all headed out and took 2 cabs from the hotel. We were meeting other people there but they were not leaving from the hotel. Well our cab driver dropped us off about 4 blocks out of the way and we had to walk and ask several people for directions before we finally made it to the restaurant. It was a nice place, smaller than some of the Hard Rocks I have seen, but still the same decor and atmosphere that the chain is known for. We got to enjoy live music as well as a few classic rock songs! I decided to splurge a little and get myself a sirloin steak, mashed potatoes and broccoli. It was AMAZING! haha I had been craving some good ol' red meat! lol After dinner I did a little shopping at the store to get myself a shirt. I got a few pictures also. I headed back to the hotel to get some stuff done and hit the hay. I had one one free day until training began!
