Emperors for the Day!

























Today our excursion was to the Tengwang Pavilion which is a very short walk from our hotel. It was there that we became emperors for the day. Picture did not come out very well as we had another family take it with our camera. We are not quite sure what the significance of the pavilion was, but hey it was pretty! Will research it and get back with you :o) Not sure how to spell pavilion either - I absolutely hate not having a dictionary! Once again, the local people gathered around to see/inspect Rylee. They are very curious and just stand around staring and chattering. Once we are stopped, then a crowd gathers. Rylee does not seem to be bothered by the attention and the people touching her. We just smile and let them look. When we go out, we keep Rylee covered as the Chinese people in this province layer their clothing despite the temperature. Many families have been stopped and told that their baby needs more clothes. So, we just put that pink sweatshirt over her and a blanket for her legs as her pants creep up in the hip hammock. She is unaffected by the layers of clothing. From the pavilion, we ate in a local Chinese restaurant...Yes, back to more chinese food. This was the best place that we have eaten at up to this point. This afternoon, we will fill out more paperwork for the consulate in Guangzhou and then pack/prepare for our departure tomorrow. We look forward to leaving Nanchang and to a new hotel!
