GZ day and trip to Buddist Temple

Last night were the fire works from the last day of the Asian Games here in GZ. We were told to stay close to the hotel and not venture too far. Apparently there are 16 million people that live here and more are here for the games. Our guide said "it will get crazy tonight." There were plenty of police on the streets, all was well. We heard the fireworks but that was the time that Joylin- miss fussy pants- didn't want to go to sleep, so we didn't want to over excite her.
Today we went to a Buddhist temple. It was lovely and very serene. We were going to a museum but the lines were too long so we were able to head back and get Joylin her afternoon nap.
We are all still doing well.
This is a funny face that she does- we don't know why but it makes us laugh.

We received our "Adoption Barbie" today. I was pleased at how well they matched me in the mother doll. Of course that was when I kept my hair blonde.

Incense prayers and Offerings for the temple.

Lots of flowers around the grounds.


I quickly snapped this. Kind of funny b/c he was on his cell phone.

This guy was amazing. He was painting ink pictures with just his hands.

Christine - so glad to hear from you. Joylin is beautiful! Both of my girls were very thin and still are. No worries. Can't wait to meet the new one. Amy Meilink
