Buddhist Temple/Old Chen House/ Shopping 4/6

This morning we got up bright and early at 7 AM. This is such an incredible hotel. It is so nice to be here again.  We went to the café veranda for our breakfast. It was delicious. We met many other families that are adopting too. This hotel that we are staying in is one of the largest hotels in China for international adoptions. It is well-known for catering to Western society. They have a lot of western type food here. Once we finished our breakfast, we met all of the other families that are going on the tours too. 

We got on the bus and headed to the first stop which was the Buddhist temple. We have been to this temple before with Gianna. The next stop was the Old Chen House. We have been to this historic site too. The Old Chen House is such a neat place.  It has all four items and luxuries that China is well known for which is: silk embroidery, fine porcelain, jade and pearl. The next stop was shopping. We bought a few items then headed off to the bus for the hotel. We had to do some paperwork today. It was a bit cloudy, overcast, and raining, but over all it was a very nice day.  We are looking forward to tomorrow's agenda where we will go to the Pearl market and also the pearl river cruise.  Jayden is doing very well adjusting to this different environment and to us. We are hearing quite a bit of language from him. He is very busy at exploring everything. Some advice for Gianna, Justin, and especially Brittany---keep anything and everything away from Jayden's reach. He is definitely a handsome stinker!!!!! 😜
