July 23th Monday (七月 二十三日 月曜日)

  The last friday my friends and I went to Tongli -- a little town at the edge of Suzhuo.
That is a beautiful town.  The houses at Tongli are still the ancient style.  There are fifty-five
bridges connecting five lakes.  We lived the center of Tonli town.  At the center of Tongli there
are three bridges -- Changqin, Pinan, (sorry, I forgot the name of the third).

  Our hotel lives on the bank of a little river, in my eye that is a little river.  I found the river
had been rippling.  Who makes it?  Here is a pearl fish, a kind of so tiny fish, it like pollywong.
These elves seems to love touching surface.

  At Our hotel here is a ancient garden.  The host grown grap, orange, guava, and so on.  Under
the grap shelf here is a crock of carp. In our rest room, ancient wood furniture.

  All brought me back to the hundred years.  I relaxed myself as soon as I can, tasted the delicate
farmming vegetables, white fish, white shrimp, silver fish, hen, etc.

  The next day we visited Pearl tower, Tuigen garden, and other gardens.  Finally, we embarked
a little boat wagging in the river.

  Now I still come around the trip to Tongli, I love the little town, love its river, love its special
food, love its cormorants.
