Day 15 - The Last Day (almost)

Today is the last full day; we travel home tomorrow. Today we went sightseeing. We visited the Six Banyan Tree Temple. Below is a pagoda in the middle of the temple area, we climbed up to the top of it. Its pretty high up there.








Then we went to the place below (also at the same temple). This is called the Daxiong Baodian Hall. Here we took the children to the up to the the Budha's seen below. There are actually three budhas (only two in the picture) representing the past, present, and future. Our guide arranged for the children to be blessed. We kneeled down and a monk performed a short cermoney to give the children good luck in their life.





From there we walked through some more traditional markets that were selling pets and herbs. Then we were free for lunch (the last lunch in China!). We met again with the guide at 3pm to get the final paperwork to bring home. We are set for an early departure tomorrow. Maybe we'll do a littlr shopping tonight, Kevin wants to get a few charms and I was thinking about getting another traditional outfit for Katelin. .... Hope to see you all soon
