Hello All,
I really had a full two weeks in China …
I saw Athletics in the Bird’s nest, USA girls beat Japan in the soccer semi-finals, the marathon swimming event (10km – first time in the Olympics!), and USA lose to Cuba in the baseball final. (Exchanged words with Vince Vaughn at the ballgame…)
Bird’s nest stadium…
The last Olympics with baseball…
Somehow I lost this ball…
I hiked the steepest sections of the Great Wall…
I toured the magnificent Forbidden City (including the crown jewels in every color of jade), explored beautiful Fengu-shui laden parks, contemplated Communism at Tiananmen Square,
…bargained for goods at the silk market…
…gazed in amazement at Chinese acrobats…
…daily used chopsticks to eat excellent,
tasty,
strange…
…and spicy food!
Peace and Love,
Christian!
Great scorpion pic! Right on the tongue! I thought they tasted like popcorn.
