#68. A Patisserie-

We had lovely desserts at a patisserie before we went home. Dad ordered an espresso and a black forest cake. Avril had a raspberry linzer cookie. Mom had a strawberry tart and I had a strawberry fraisier. We gave each other bites so we could taste everything. Everybody thought that Avril's cookie was the best.


#55. A Place of Worship (different than your own)-

We visited a Buddhist Temple in New York City. We saw people lighting incense, offering fruit, pouring oil and bowing to their god.
#82. An Ethnic Restaurant-

In Chinatown, we drank ginger tea, black tea and we shared original egg rolls, a pork bun and fried and steamed dumplings. This store sold plates of delicious dumplings for only a dollar! In Little Italy, we ate pizza.

We went to Chinatown and Little Italy in New York City and we saw a lot of cool stuff in both of them.
