Museum

Sunday morning, we visited a museum here in Guangzhou. I think it used to be the house for a very rich person. Some of their furniture was on display. It had huge doors that opened into a courtyard and many rooms and hallways surrounding the courtyard.
This is a very intricate bone carving. The artist starts with a camel bone and makes it into this beautiful scene.
Abby seemed to be a little bored looking at the artwork.
This piece of art was a little more interesting. That boy looks like he's in trouble.
And having a cousin around always brightens her smile!

Flat Panda seems to have a thing for trees. Maybe because he can stand up by himself in them!
This is one of the main doors to the museum. That guy looks like he's guarding the place well. I would be scared to come in if I wasn't supposed to.
Here is a bush outside the museum entrance.
Later on in the day, Flat Panda relaxed with a nice game of ping pong. The Chinese are very good at this game. Our guide beat everyone in the group.
Only a few more days until we come home. Flat Panda and Abby have enjoyed the trip, but they're glad to be coming home soon.

Abby,
So many beautiful things to see and do - I'm glad we are able to experience this with you. We are anxiously awaiting your return and hope to celebrate with a little china party of our own in March. Take care. Mrs Rhoad
