Today we went to visit Lord Bao's Temple. He was born in 999 and was known as a great incorruptible official. He was a judge who believed that everyone was the same under the law. There was a great wax museum - the figures were very lifelike - that shows some of the most famous stories of Lord Bao. He punished members of the royal family just as he punished the common man. One of our pictures shows three different implements for beheading people. Royalty were beheaded with the one that had the dragon head on it, government officials were beheaded with the one that had a lion head on it and the commoners were beheaded with the one that had the dogs head. I don't think I would have cared which as the result would be the same!!!
In the afternoon, we took a cab ride down to the shopping area. Both girls got new sandals that light up - they are very proud of their new shoes. Bailey said that they make her run faster!!!
It sounds like Ben & Ethan are going to have a fun weekend. Rod said they are going fishing!
Bailey is typing and she says hi!
