True to form, I couldn't sit in the hotel all morning, knowing we had several hours at the airport before we leave, and then 13.5 hrs on a flight to LA. So I dragged Ken to our last sight to see. Despite the heat index of 110F we both enjoyed it immensely. We went to the Chen Family Temple and Academy. It is not a practicing temple any longer but a museum. It was magnificient! and one of our favorite places to visit. The wood carvings in the building were breathtaking, and the colorful temple designs were just amazing. The pictures won't do it justice but give you an idea. We so enjoyed walking around and admiring the architecture, but he contents of the museum were also beautiful, showcasing Chinese folk art in Ivory carving, embroidery, porcelain, furniture making, to name a few.
We bid you good bye for now.Thank you all for experiencing this journey with us. We have had a fantastic trip, with a most amazing treasure in our son. I will continue to post for a while longer, to comment on Braden's transition into our house, and into Eva and Nicole's lives.
We are so excited to welcome you home. My girls are so excited to meet Shu. Good Luck.
