Today, we finally felt like we could participate in the sightseeing activity for the day with our adoption group. Mira Fu Xi is doing much better each day. She has been eating a little bit more and is starting to show us some of her personality.
Our adoption coordinater in Guangzhou, Michael, took us to see the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees. This is a very old temple in Guangzhou, built over 1400 years ago. It is still a working temple, bustling with monks and people visiting and praying. It was a lovely experience and a perfect setting for this special day.
The highlight of our visit was a blessing ceremony performed by one of the monks for peace and happiness to our newly adopted children. (We are travelling with another family from Northern California that is also with our adoption agency - I will write more about them later). Chandler took a video of the ceremony which I will have to figure out how to post later... For now, here are some wonderful photos from our visit.
It was a beautiful Mother's Day!
