Only three weeks after returning from China, attempts to upload more pictures!

This is an example of Ancestor Worship, one of the major spiritual exercises in China such as Daoism, Taoism, Confusianism, Buddhism, etc. etc. This was at a wonderful temple outside Zhaoqing where there is a story about a mother and her two daughters afloat on a river in China. I did not completely understand the story, but she garnered great reverence from all who were visiting. I was able to say to Dr. Feng "Ta shir ma ma de Zhong Guo" and felt good about that. He agreed.











Part of an icebreaker using toilet paper...must tell something interesting about yourself for the number of sheets you take, e.g. three sheets = three interesting things about you.







I know, the same 3 translators, bu this time in class. See Frank, see Frank sweat. It had to be 100 degrees in the classroom but somehow got through it. Each book except for Miss Nelson Returns is part of my presentations in one way or another. Work, yes, fun, yes!









We stepped outside for a picture with bamboo background I liked. Thumbs up for all of us!











After at delightful farewell lunch, the three translators wanted a group picture. The tall girl named Kah Kah was not a translator however, but all wonderful young women (sophomores).













Despite the mic being "in my face", I thought it was a cute picture from the presentation at the "Number One " middle school in Zhaoqing. You know, 15 mins. of fame!






























This is not going well. I will attempt again today to upload some pictures. I will do five at a time and then start a new "post" and will try to annotate each picture. Here goes........
