More China Pics...
A few more pictures, for your viewing pleasure...
This pretty shot was taken at the Summer Palace. Even in winter, the grounds were gorgeous.
Here's Tim in front of a concrete paddle boat at the Summer Palace.
This was the Christmas tree in our hotel lobby. They definitely tried to create a feeling of Christmas for us westerners...they even had two Christmas carols that they would play on a loop in the hallways..."Frosty the Snowman" and "All I Want for Christmas" :0)
This was taken at the Silk Factory. The white stuff above the ladies head is the silk strands, and the little white balls at her elbow level are silk worm larvae. It was really neat to see the process of going from worm to silk blanket.
Soldiers marching in perfect formation outside the Forbidden City.
Quote from Sam when he saw this sign: "Ummm, I don't even know how to speak cellphone". Good thing it's STRICTLY prohibited when thunderstorm, eh!
The Jones boys trying to prove that the "Tourist Stops" signs couldn't hold them back.
I don't think Sam was too impressed with his Christmas Eve milkshake at McDonalds.
