Wow, it's been a while.  I've been so busy and tired, I haven't been able to finish my China blogs.

Ok, there's the Bird's Nest behind me.  Exciting, no?

At the Summer Palace I got some pictures with a military patrol.  We said thanks for the pix and started leaving and they stopped us.  They wanted to get some pictures with their cameras.  The Summer Palace was huge, a lot of walking.  I'll try to pick out some good pictures to upload later.

Walking through Tiananmen Square, there were a lot of people stopping me to have pictures taken.  I wasn't the only white dude there, so I don't know what that was about.

Near the high point of the Great Wall.  I walked just under a billion miles to get to this spot.  I was walking with a nice couple from Poland.  Well actually, I was walking with the wife.  Trying to keep up with the husband (who was almost 80).  I walked part of the way back down, then I got on a roller coaster thing and flew straight down the side of the mountain.  I didn't know it was gonna be like a roller coaster when I got on it, so that kinda scared the crap outta me when it started going that fast.

At the Great Wall entrace I was at, there was this mini zoo thing with a bunch of bears.  This one is begging for bits of apple.

At the Temple of Heaven, playing dress-up.

Me, Dad and Jane at the Temple of Heaven.

Me at the Temple of Heaven.

Big tree.

Ok, yes, I know I look the same in all of the pictures.  I'm not very good at getting my pic taken.  There's no need to point this out to me. 

Alrighty, that's it for now.  I'll continue later.
