The Temple of Lama


Today we went to see a beautiful Buddhist temple that is now open to the public. The architecture was again amazing and they had one Buddha that is in the Guiness Book of World Records for being made out of one piece of sandalwood. It was at least 3 or 4 stories high! This was followed by attending a tea ceremony which the adults really enjoyed... the kids, not so much..... The teas were incredible and tasted richer that anything we had ever had.
We all hit the wall today... but it wasn't so great... (Sorry for the bad humor but I told you we were tired. We've been working on that joke all day.:) ) The other pictures are Jodi practicing her moves when hounded by the paparazzi. Actually these are her new friends in the hotel lobby who are so sweet to her when we come through every day. We also have a picture of Baba's new discipline technique to keep Jodi in her seat. What do you think? Actually she was loving this and told him to do it over and over!! We are still having our challenges with our very stubborn little girl but this is followed by very sweet moments that we wouldn't trade. Tomorrow we head to the Summer Palace and love to you wherever you are right now!
