More Photos from Guangzhou

At a deli in the White Swan hotel. These were BBQ pork sandwiches--cute! They were only 10 yuan which is about one dollar and 20 cents.
At the Six Baiyan Buddist Temple. This Budda was one of three. They were so big, I couldn't get all three in the photo. They represent the past, the present, and the future. They stood about 20 feet high and they weighed 10 ton each.
Briley in front of the Budda from Thailand. It was much smaller than the ones above.
Teagan at the White Swan Hotel with statues.
At the Pedistrian Street in Guanzhou. It was so crowded with people that you could hardly move. Of course, being foreigners, we really stood out in the crowd.

good morning rupps,
It sounds like everything is falling into place and that you are having a good time. Were your ears ringing this am? We all talked about you at the basketball game last night. We all have our favorite pictures and look forward to this site every day. It is wonderful. Yesterday when I was at Wal-Mart, I looked at a globe. Wow, you are so far away and that is what makes this site so awsome. Hey, have a good day. We have more ballgames to go to today and tonight. Do you see basketballs in China? Bye Jodi

Debbie and her girls,
Linnea and I have enjoyed your blog so much. We both can't wait for morning so we can check on Briley and Teagan.
How wonderful it was to wake up to your beautiful daughters.
I don't have a close up picture of picture of Peter to show Linnea. When I told her who it was she got so quiet and then just kept repeating "that's Peter."
The pictures I have of Linnea at her medical she was crying, like that was a surprise :0). She even said Mom I cried there. I can't believe Teagan is 19 lbs.! I bet you can ha ha.
The pictures of the temple and then ceremony was so cool. Sounds like you guys are having a great time in Gungzhou.
I am glad Briley is speaking Chinese.
Have fun shopping!
Tell Peter hi from us, Linnea's Chinese name is Lu Hui Juan.
Julie and Linnea
