Field Trip to China

california-128 April Fools.  We really didn't go to China (I am sure I really got you there.)  Near my parents house is the Hsi Lai Temple.  We had a little field trip.  We weren't allowed to take pictures inside or in the little museum but it was amazing.  If I lived near this temple I would definitely walk the grounds every morning hoping a little chi, zen, fung shuei or whatever, would rub off on me.

I am sure we looked like big fakers, but it was fun to light incense and let our prayers go up to heaven with the smoke.

We have a miniature of this cute guy in our house by our kitchen sink.
