Day 7
















Wednesday November 11th. Today we went to the Badansharen Museum. It is 1700 years old and is also called the Taoism Temple. Ok, I am going to give you a history lesson and pictures.

Badasharen Museum - It lies on the Mei Lake. During the Ming and early Qing dynasties the outstanding painting master Zhuda (who is also known as Badasheran. Who also lived there. In order to commerate these songs he will be singing. That was interesting. It was really nice paints. Sissy our USAA guide gave us a history lessen everyday and she taught us how to sing songs in Chinese. For example Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Try this song at home. Here are the words in Chinese.

After the the museum we went to lunch. She took us to this resturant that had live seafood aquariums. There was this one tank that had the most beautiful red fish in it. The resturant was beautiful they used alot of wood in this place. I cannot say enough about Sissy and Sara they have taken care of any needs and just love the children as if they were the parents. They also took great care of the parents. Enjoy the pictures.
