Three different architectural styles together.
Anne posing by one of the rivers in Chongqing.
Family photo that we took while we were waiting to get into the Three Gorges Museum (the first time).
Renovated old trading house.
Posing in a doorway.
Elephant tile
Another dinner - so much food for four people!
Pandas at the zoo
The young panda in the tree.
Anne and I with the pandas.
Pandas stick their tongues out a lot when they eat.
Wonderful animal statues at the zoo.
Another elephant!
Plaza in front of the Three Gorges Museum (the second time we attempted to go)
Mom, Anne and our guide Richard taking the bicycle rickshaw back to the car at the Dazu Grotto. Dad and I walked!
The Dazu Grotto.
A beautiful lady on the wall that represented the ways that people could be killed and punished. See the chickens in the box underneath? They peck at your feet.
Richard explaining the walls of carvings in the rocks.
Anne and I sleeping by the sleeping Buddha.
Waking up
A view of perspective. You can see the Buddha's head down at the end and get a sense of just how long this section of wall was.
Feet - larger than life.
Goddess of Mercy - covered in gold
A pagoda at the second site of the grotto
Dragons for good luck
Another goddess of Mercy. Each arm helps you and solves a problem in the world.
Anne and I in the backseat of the van. We spent a lot of time over this vacation together in the back.
Dad with one of the huge ornamental urns.
An even bigger urn! I can't imagine where someone would use this.
And the rocks. Yes, they really were THIS big.
