GUANGZHOU, BABY . . . YEAH!

Today, we toured the beautiful Chen Clan Family Pavilion. Breathtaking sights of sculpture, embroidery, art, wood & ivory carving and history. The temple was originally established as preparatory school for the Chen Family, the most numerous family in the Guangzhou area. Later, it was open for public exhibition. Beautiful gardens, preserved rooms of furniture, bonsai trees and architecture make this a must-see site in this beautiful area. Maggie was taken back by the heat a little, so she didn't enjoy too much.

Afterwards, we went to the Pearl Market in downtown Guangzhou to buy our little girl gifts as she grows older. Off to the supermarket to re-supply formula, cereal and bottled water for our little eater... just like her daddy!

Shamian Island is a beautiful place to walk the street and take in the local flavor, with numerous shops, parks and a delightful waterfront. Another beautiful, but exhausting day with our new daughter.
