Scenic road and a farm

On Saturday Dalian Software Park sponsored a 10 kilometer walk along scenic Bin Hai Road. They invited people from all of the high tech companies in the software park, and a few hundred people showed up for the walk.



Here are some of the group from IBM starting out...



The weather was mostly foggy...



The foggy weather was kind of nice since we did not have to worry about sunburn or it getting too hot, but it was disappointing that we could not see all of the scenery.



For most of the walk I walked pretty fast and the only person from IBM who could keep up with me was my friend Rosa...



On Sunday my team from work visited Sheng Lai Farm outside of Dalian near Lushan. Our main goal: to eat lots and lots of these...



After a short walk around the farm we were taken to a greenhouse where they grew strawberries, and we proceeded to eat as many strawberries as we could...



There were a lot to choose from...



After gorging ourselves on strawberries we hit some golf balls at a little driving range they had there...



Then a few of us took a ride on some grass carts they had...



After that we had lunch. I had been to this farm before about two years ago, and the lunch we had then was much better. Oh well, after lunch a few of us bought some corn bread and tried to make some something that resembles crispy corn crepes...



After awhile we headed home, and with a full stomach and a slight sunburn I had a nice nap.
