VISITING LOCAL TEMPLE
AND ARTISAN MUSEUM

Not much to touch base on today, as we only had one sight seeing spot. We visited the Cheng temple and artisan museum. This was a very lovely place with several open courtyards. Very Feng Shei! The courtyards were filled with bonsai and normal sized trees. The side-buildings contained the artisans and their crafts. The crafts included the use of wood, metals, stone, watercolor on rice paper and embroidery. There were many intricate and beautiful pieces that we photographed but I will only be able to post a couple so Anna Claire gets her cute mug on here as much as possible.

She is having a good day today. The weather is warm and sunny and I think this helps her. After a couple of hours here we did a little shopping and then it was back to the hotel. As I said not much to report today. Please enjoy the pictures.
