Teng Wang Pavillion

This morning we went to the Teng Wang Pavillion. The major tourist attraction in Nanchang. It is 14 hundred years old and built approximately 29 times...the most recent being in 1985. It is beautiful. It was definitely worth the trip. Some families did stay back due to the heat. It certainly was hot. It is hard to get motivated due to the heat. We stayed in the hotel the rest of the afternoon.

It is hard to believe tomorrow is our last full day in Nanchang. We head back to Beijing on Friday. It looks like the weather will be a lot cooler in Beijing which will be nice to get out and see the sites. Tomorrow we are going to a Village and then to the Porcelain Market.

Mary Anne had a bottle through the night and later this afternoon! I think we are good to go now and she just takes it when she is in the mood. She definitely prefers solid food. Today she ate all kinds of different things....banana, tofu, steamed egg and sweet potatoe. Steamed egg is definitely her favorite and I found out how to make it. She is a great eater!

We are so blessed!

Here are some photos from the day....












Here is the potty that the hotel provides. Cute eh?! We don't have potties like this is Canada. Susan did you have a potty like this when you were here with Sophia?


We are off to bed. :)

Ok, it's 11:52 in the morning here and I need a Mary Anne fix. Can't you set your clock and get up in the middle of the night to give us a pic or update? Now really Christine. :)

ps - now I realize what jerks we were for not even bringing our laptop on our trip. All my little updates were probably frustrating without any pics! We are spoiled to see pics, updates and video! All you need to do is send us some popcorn.

It's lunchtime again!

We LOVE the pic of Mary-Anne in her strawberry swimsuit - she's so cute.

Keep the pics coming - it gives us something to look forward to on a dreary wet day in Victoria!

We loved the Teng Wang Pavilion it was worth the trip in the heat to see it. The bansi gardens were so beautiful.

Yes we did have a potty like that when we were there only ours was blue... they are so cute aren't they?

Glad to here all is going well. I was very emotional the day we went to the village and then again the day we left Nanchang...
