Tina headed back to Chicago today; we enjoyed her visit. Katie did quite well in church today - perhaps because it was pretty crowded today and she quieted down with all those people around.
On January 14 when we visited Qianling Park in Guiyang, we visited the Hongfu Temple. This the largest Buddhist temple complex in the Guizhou province. Our guide explained a lot about the temple and Buddhism to us, but we were clearly just scratching the surface. It was a pretty but also a very religious place, and we were not allowed to take pix of everything. It was interesting to note parallels and differences between our family's faith and Buddhism as it was described to us here. On a lighter note, we found out that baldness, big belly, and big earlobes are supposed to be "lucky" - so I am working on being lucky, indeed. Later that day we tried to take Katie swimming in the indoor pool at the hotel, but the water was too cold. The hotel was really uptight about sanitation at the pool - we all had to wear shower caps and had to walk through a six-inch deep pool of disinfectant in order to get to the swimming area.
