Day 12 Fun in Guangzhou

Today all the families went to the Chen family temple in Guangzhou. The temple is a sacred place to the Chinese people. Our guide, Michael, led us through the temple. They had many valuable things, like nice "China" plates. They also had nice things from elephant tusks. There were bricks in the temple were really fun. They were slippery enough to slide on, so J, G, D, and A were sliding around. G fell down after a while, but he was okay. After we left the temple, the families went to a "mall", which was more like a shop. There were many fans there that were really cool. Then we all went to the hotel, the White Swan. J and her mom, G and his mom, and D and his dad went to drop off laundry and saw hackeysack-type things for 5 yuan. J got one, G got one, and D got 4! Then we went to Subway, but they were out of bread! D and his dad split up with us. So we went to "Lucy's Cafe and Bar" for lunch. What was so ironic is that we saw D and his dad in Lucy's. After that, we went back to the hotel and hung out. Later, all the families went to a Thai restaurant. After that, J, G, D, and A had ice cream. Then we all went back to the hotel. J, G, and D were playing tag in the hall. We kept playing till 9:00 Chinese Time. Overall, it was a great day.
