Everyone concentrating.

Our tutor and helpers

Our tutor booked a common local place they go for dinner. Her and hubby joined us.

and wine in a good size glass with ice for $3.50

All they served were chicken skewers for$1.00 each

and all parts of the chicken were served. The heart, liver, intestines, skin and some meat were served.

Cabbage is a salad staple for them.

I went away very full and all for $20. We had great company and so much fun.

The tutor suggested this local place and we all enjoyed it.
