It is HOT!!!!

Even though Guangzhou is a city of 12 million people, our hotel "The White Swan", is located on Shamian Island which is somewhat separate from the main city so it does not feel like such a big bustling place. However, it is very, very hot and humid. It has rained here for the past 20 days straight and now the sun is out, so you can kind of get the picture!!
We took a tour of the city today that included a visit to the Liurong Temple (Temple of the Six Banyan Trees), where we had Meredith blessed by one of the Buddhist monks. We also saw the Guangdong Folk Arts Museum, Old Chen House and did some shopping at the Provencial Art and Crafts Center. Later in the afternoon, Lisa and I (Margo) walked down to the Health Center and splurged on a foot and neck massage which was heavenly!!
Dinner tonight is going to be in the room compliments of Papa John aka "Pop Jon" in China!
