Thanks for the tour of the Wenshu Monastery. All those books we have read about China are coming to life via your blog. Stay hydrated!
ReplyDeleteAnn, thank you for the Blog. We really enjoy sharing in your adventure. It brings back memories of my time "getting to know" Asia. I don't know if you will have the opportunity but I really enjoyed meeting and sharing meals with Temple Monks. We would eat and then spend hours talking. I gained excellent insight into the folks that way. Have joy as you continue on this excellent adventure.
