For the love of apples

The last couple of days we have started each day out with an amazing breakfast buffet that I know the kids are going to miss.  All these Chinese children are going to have some adjusting to do when we get back to the United States and find out that they don't get breakfast like this every day. 

Yesterday we went to the Guangdong Folk Ars Museum.  We were able to see some very different art work. Not the most kid friendly place to be, but it got us out of the hotel for half a day.  One thing that we have discovered with Kora is that she loves apples.  Bill has to eat all the skin off of them first, but then she eats them until there is nothing but seeds.  It is quite a show. Everyday at the breakfast buffet Bill and I are smuggling apples and bananas so that we have them at her beck and call.   

Next we went to the Pearl market where there is tiny store after tiny store of jewelry stores.  It was five stories high.  That is a lot of jewelry in one place.  They all pretty much sold the same things, but Grace took us to one where she knew the owner.  I have never bought pearls in the states, but I am assuming we got a good deal.

For dinner we finally got our Mexican food.  Tequila's in China might be one of the best meals I have ever eaten.  LOL. I think I have said that about McDonalds everytime we have eaten it here too.  We went as a group and enjoyed a nice evening out.  Kora ate and ate.  I joked to Bill that she has passed the Ford test and can now come home with us.  I don't think there was anything that she didn't like.  

Karsyn also had a sleep-over last night in China.  She spent the night with McKayla and the rest of the Motley Crew.  She said that it was the best night sleep she has had since she got here. Kora has slept through the entire night every night except last night so it looks like Karsyn has to stick with us for the rest of the trip.   

We woke up this morning and took a bus to a Buddhist temple.  Grace explained that there are three Buddhas that they pray to.  One for the past, one for the present, and then one for the future.  They were huge and ornate, but we weren't allowed to take pictures so I will leave it to the imagination.  

We came back to the hotel afterwards for lunch and naps and this afternoon we have to take Kora back to the clinic to get the results of her TB test. Not sure what the dinner plans are tonight, but I have heard that there is a great Italian restaurant around here.
