We have done a little more sightseeing over the past two days. One evening our group took a dinner cruise along the Pearl River. Every night, there is a light show along the river and all of the buildings are lit up. Ella enjoyed watching the lights and seeing the other boats go by.
On Wednesday, we visited the Six Banyan Buddhism Temple. This temple was built in approximately 500 AD. It is amazing that it is still standing. We were given a tour of the temple grounds and saw many people praying and burning incense to the Buddha statues. Our group was treated to a special ceremony. One of the monks blessed our group and sprinkled a holy water on top of the babies. I've included the video from this ceremony. Ella was really mesmerized by what he was doing. We got a kick out of the monk because we all noticed that he was wearing Nike socks and had an Audi keychain hanging out of his pocket. He was nice enough to pose for pictures with us.

That looks like an amazing place to visit and Ella is gorgeous. I have showed everyone at work her pictures and they all think she is so adorable :) I am very happy for both of you and you both look so natural. Can't wait to see you three.
Love,

Just got a chance to watch some of your videos! It's good to see Keith is as good as Peter with the videotaping.
Clementine was just like Ella-not a sound or cry out of her. She also would scratch her head when nervous, but has all disappeared.
When are you heading home? Can't wait to get our girls together.
