Chinatown

Yesterday was Becky's birthday, so nine of us(plus her) joined up after lunch to follow a guidebook through Chinatown.




Started with the Chinese Temple with the largest pure gold Buddha in the world



perused the street markets for munchies


saw some snakes and seahorses at the Chinese medicine shop


wandered some of the back streets



had some yummy chinese noodles for late lunch




walked through the flower market


and took the river ferry to church.


Speaking of church, we got another glimpse of adorable snoozing baby Jude :)
