Quangzhou Buddist Temple

Kylees first experience in the hotel play room.

Inside a 1500 year old Buddist Temple. Each Budha was about 40 ft tall.

This Buddist preist performed a blessing for Kylee. It was a really cool experience.

Sorry for the delay of blog updates. Since we arrived in Quangzhou it's been a bit of a whirlwind. Most of Sunday was spent acclimating to the new environment and doing a lot of visa paper work in preparation for our meetings at the US Consulate. Monday we did get to tour around the city a bit, even though Monica still are not feeling that well. The location of the hotel is on an small island surrounded by the Pearl river which is the 3rd longest river in China. This is a very tropical type climate, which has been much better for our health. Even though this city is very industrial, it's very beautiful. I'm writing this form the greatest Starbucks on the planet. If they were all like this in the states, Kaladi's might get bumped from my top coffee shop. :)
Kylee continues to bond with us and I think we are really starting to see some of her real personality, which is awesome. Every minute we spend with her is magic no matter how challenging. Today we had her medical exam for her visa and everything checked out including her gaining about 1 lb. This afternoon we are heading to a big outdoor market to experience more crazy stuff this province eats. If it flies or swims, they will eat it.
