Buddhist Temple

Today we woke up at 8:30 am, (We slept in late again, because we watched a movie-again) and after getting dressed, we went to eat breakfast. After breakfast, we went to our hotel room and gathered up our dirty clothes and took them to get washed. After we dropped them off, we went to the hotel room, got a few things, and went to the Buddhist temple.

At the Buddhist temple, it looked like all the other temples, until we saw the pagoda, which was really neat (the other things were neat too.) It had 9 different sections, each one perhaps 12 feet tall. The first section was perhaps 20 feet wide, and as you got farther up, the sections got narrower. It had 54 solid gold statues inside of it. But, although neat, it was somewhat dark inside each level. Once out side, and on the top section, you had a GREAT view of Guangzhou. At this point, Will became quite upset because we wouldn't let him run free and kicked his shoes off (something he does whenever he gets mad!) We were probably over 100 feet in the air with only a little hand rail to keep him from falling off - the hand rail would never meet USA safety standards! After we got done with the pagoda we went back to the hotel, and put will down for a nap. He was really tired from climbing the entire pagoda by himself.

Will took a nap, and Dad fell asleep with him. I stayed up playing on the computer until Will woke up. (Dad has forbidden me from playing on the computer when Will is up - Dad thinks this might help Will and me bond.)

Right now, Will is awake, and he is attacking Dad, trying to wake him up. While he is doing that, I am writing this entrée.

That's all for now.

Jacob

P.S. The weather is STILL dreary.

P.S.S. Aren’t you glade I did not end the entrée with what I usually said???

Note from Mom: There is a new picture of Will and Jacob at the bottom of the page.
