Visiting an Ancient Temple










































Saturday we went to the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees, a Buddhist temple built in 537 A.D. during the Liang Dynasty. We watched Chinese visitors burn incense and even saw a Buddhist worship ceremony.
The streets were so busy after we were done touring the temple grounds that we couldn't catch a taxi, so we walked and took the subway instead. Very crowded!

It was good to get out for the afternoon, because being cooped up in the hotel is starting to make me a little crazy. Monday we may go to a botanical garden.

Maggie is learning lots of new English words and has discovered the joys of Sesame Street. (Thank goodness for my laptop!)
