Guang Dong, China


This is a city that we visited in China that is some historical place.  The pamphlets we got were all in Chinese, so I don't know much about this place except that these buildings were built in the early 1800's and belonged to very rich Chinese men who had multiple wives.  These buildings were very tall and the steps inside were very steep and long.  We sure got our workout going up a few of these.  It was a beautiful city though.  Baby Walker!  Kind of cool.All the houses had a shrine at the top.  Lots of people lived in each house since there were many wives for each man.  I guess each wife had a different floor to live on.  Interesting!
Lynar and I at the top of one.
This is a picture of a very old man taking a bath in the pond as we were walking out.  He was actually washing his hair right then.  Very thin.
