The Banyan tree temple and another cute picture


EXS loves walks outside and yesterday we went to the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees. The temple was built in 1098 and has a pagoda with nine stories. Each level has a wraparound balcony overlooking Guangzhou. It is amazing to be surrounded with so much history and culture and then see neon signs and big TV station satellites just outside the temple walls.

As you go up each stairway, the ceilings get lower and the stairs get steeper. The lesson being "The higher you go, the more humble you must be."


That's what I got from it anyway with a freakin' 26 pound baby strapped to my chest.
