We continued to teach - Father Greg, S.J. joined us as our "go to guy" for spirituality. Truly, he is a delight. We all attended Mass on our first Sunday in Xiamen on a tiny island called Gulang Yu - which is a short distance from Xiamen. We took a ferry boat - which was really crowded! The Catholic Church in China is somewhat complicated. There is sanctioning from the government but the connection with the papacy is questionable.
Gulong Yu was a British colony - therefore much of the architecture is "western".

After our time there, we walked to "Coffee Street" to and Italian restaurant ( yep that is correct). The food was pretty good - certainly not Taylor Street quality - but decent! Having eaten so much Chinese food, we wanted another type of food. I ordered a "chicken leg pizza"!
