Josh's Blessing

Last night was our dinner river cruise on the Pearl River. It was also the Mid-Autumn or Moon Festival. There were lots of people out and about. The food was not that great, but it was really neat to see all the buildings light up like Vegas.


Not only were the buildings light, but so were all the boats on the river. Each one was different.




This is our hotel, The White Swan, from the river at night.


The next morning we went to the Temple of the Six Banyans. There the babies were blessed by a Buddhist monk. We had to take our shoes off, no pictures allowed and make an offering. It was very special. Then Matt, Josh and Jenny climbed to the top of the pagoda. Each floor was shorter than the next making climbing the stairs difficult for Matt.



We're not sure what were doing tonight, but right now both the boys are taking a nap. Keep checking back for the latest. Tomorrow is the infamous "Red Couch" picture day. There should be some good pictures from that.

Love to all, Matt, Jenny and Josh
