Wow We Jamed With Some Taoist Monks!


Wow, you won't believe what happened today. We had our first day off and were able to do some sightseeing. There are so many people here touring from other parts of china, it's a wall of people going to the same places we saw. We have to go now to eat, but the best thing that happened was that we play music with some taoist monks, I got to show them the banjo and they were blown away by the banjo since they seldom leave the monastery and have never seen such an instrument before...What a once in a lifetime experience.

I was in Padukah, KY for 4 days for a quilt workshop. Didn't get to internet until today. Wow, sounds like you are having a great time in Qingdao. I am looking forward to following your tour everyday. Have fun. Say hello to all my friends in Laoshan.
