Who knew that you could order Starbucks INSIDE the Forbidden City?!!
Mike videoing at Tiannamen Square--it was wet and COLD!
One of the palaces in the Forbidden City...look at the top left gable of the building...
...and here it is up close. So detailed!
This place is huge!
Across from Tiannamen Square is a countdown to the Beijing Olympics: 8/8/08 at 8 p.m. Can you tell that “8” is a lucky Chinese #?!
Visiting a Cloisonne Factory: she is attaching swirls of copper to the vase.
Workers painting the many layers of paint on the vases.
In the price fixed Friendship store, repeating the mantra, “Can't overpack! Two more cities to lug it to AND shop in!”
At the Great Wall: The only manmade structure on Earth that can be seen by astronauts on the moon! Unbelievable!!
Mike coming down from the Great Wall!
A cold, rainy day and people kept on going up the Wall.
Does it look like I went really far up the Wall? Somebody had to take the ground pictures!
