Beijing Day #1 - Tienamen square and the south gate
Beijing day #1 - just outside the Forbidden City (its not forbidden anymore ;-D)
Beijing day #1 - Intertwined Cypress trees. The saying is that if you have your picture taken here your marriage will last forever. I’m not letting this little lady get outta my sight! :-D
Beijing day #1 - Hutong tour in downtown Beijing. Our tour guide’s name was Tina (pic #2), and she asked us to help her pic an American name for her daughter. Mrs. Fan opened up her home and played a beautiful song for us on her harp-like instrument (forgive me I don’t know that name of it).
Beijing day #2 - A quick trip to the Bird’s Nest and Olympic village, then off to the Great Wall. amazing views even in spite of the smog.
Beijing day #2 - concluded our day with an amazing performance at the Happy Valley Dream Village (great name ;-D). It truly was a beautiful display of dance, music, and theatrics. They even provided some english subtitles on screens on the side of the stage. Really neat show. I wish you all could have seen it.
