Tea Shop, Jade Factory and Ming Tombs


After our long hike we stopped in and learned about tea. We tried several different herbal ones and Danny and I liked the fruit tea so Justin bought us some. It isn't in tea bag form so I haven't figured out a really good way to make it yet. I don't have a teapot and am not going to buy one here so for the time being I add the fruit to boiling water and let it sit for a while. After the tea shop we went to a Jade factory. I never knew there were that many kinds of jade, there is even pink jade. Justin bought me a jade charm for my charm bracelet. Next we were off to the Ming Tombs and saw more jade there and in one area there was a giant Buddha and what you do is make a wish and toss some money into the pile for it to come true. Justin made his paper money into an airplane and it flew over the railing. I think he wished that it would get warmer. Too bad it didn't come true.
