Went to a temple today which was built a little over 100 years ago. New by China’s standards. It had a variety of antiques from a personal collection dating back over 1,000 years. Today the heat and humidity was extreme as I carried a sleeping Sidney in the carrier. It was a nice place for simply absorbing more of the local culture when walking out afterward and seeing many vendors, including a man heating potatoes on the back of a burner attached to his bike. Only in China! Industrious! We moved on to visit a tea house. We were able to sit down and sample different blends. Tom and I were laughing that this activity was actually chosen for a group of people with children. Fragile tea sets on shelves and sampling hot beverages. It was a neat experience and was just one of many from the trip to tuck into my memory bank.
We completed paperwork for the United States portion of the adoption with the paperwork which was collected in Hunan province. There was one form we were missing, or so I thought for about 5 terrifying minutes. It was facing the wrong direction in the file. Meanwhile we sampled delicious fruit I have not seen or tasted before which grows on trees in Guangzhou.
