Okay, you want more, so here's a few tidbits. We are reasonably fresh and ready to head out this morning in a few minutes. Seeing more people who must be traveling with us at the hotel breakfast buffet. We'll meet shortly. We truly our having a wonderful time. Can't wait to see more today. So many people in the park yesterday. We were in one of the buildings around the temple of heaven, and a little Chinese boy came right up to me looked me in the eyes and said, "Hello." I responded with "Ni shuo yingwu ma?" (Do you speak English) He responded very clearly, "Yes." I said, "Hen hao." (very good) We gave each other big smiles and off he went. So fun. All our work learning Mandarin has been worth it.
Here's a few shots to enjoy. One is our hotel room . The other is just a taste of what traffic can look like here. More later.
Happy Birthday Maryn! I's so happy your mom and Dad know how to use a computer....so I can now see your family pictures! You are very pretty and I am looking forward to meeting you when you come to your home in the United States. I hope you all are having fun as you journey together. Your new hometown friend, Carol
