Sunday Slow Down- The Inbetween

It's not until we reach the end that we realize the importance of the inbetween

Unexpected

Everything Has Its Beauty

Sunday the plan was to visit the Lama Temple, home of the tallest Bhudda in the world (Guiness Book of World Records says so).  We were dropped off a block or two from the entrance and opted to walk around the neighborhood first before entering.  The streets were littered with small shops selling gold Bhudda … Continue reading Everything Has Its Beauty →

I chose the perfect time to visit China for the first time.  I've been here about 2 weeks and the most touristy thing I've done thus far … Continue reading Water Dragon →
