Today, we visited the Hsi Lai Temple with our friends Eliza and her kids, Jiufu & Nikki. Daphne and Nikki had great fun running up and down the courtyard. We all enjoyed the monastery's vegetarian buffet.
Daphne and I were able to watch three women make these wonderful little red bean & vanilla filled pastries outside the tea and reading room. I just realized I failed to take a picture of it! They were delicious, though. Emmanuel was (finally--after our third visit) able to enjoy a cup of Bodhi tea in their tea room in quasi-quiet repose.
Daphne forwent the purchase of a beautiful, red Chinese bracelet with rose quartz for a key chain with a pink stone attached to it.
When asked about her visit to the Buddhist Temple and about her favorite part, Daphne responded, "It was really good...wait a second. The blocks." I believe she was talking about running up and down the courtyard (pictured below).
After our visit to Hsi Lai, we went to the 99 Ranch Market in West Covina, and we bought some crab.
