Shaolin Temple, China

In April, Janet and I, in the company of Janet's student and friend, Katherine and her mother, traveled South from Xi'an to the 1200 year old Shaolin Temple, a training ground for martial arts.
In addition to some spectacular feats, we walked through the ancient graveyard of the immortals of Shaolin.
