Beijing touring

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.
