China Update

I can't believe that Julie and I are really in China. We arrived last Tuesday in Beijing. We spent two and a half days in Beijing. We saw the Forbidden City, Tienanmen Square, the Temple of Heaven, and the Great Wall. Check out some of the other things we did:

Pearl Factory
Jade Factory
Cloisonne Factory
Ming's Tomb
Emperor's Summer Palace
Silk Factory
Tiger Hill
Lingering Garden
Embroidery Museum
Lunch with a local family
Hutong tour
Rickshaw ride
Back and foot massage
TCM Institute (Bogus Traditional Chinese Medicine)

Every meal is Chinese food. I need a Betty Burger or In and Out! It has been an awesome experience that both Julie and I will remember for a long time. Yesterday and part of today we were in Suzhou. So far the was the best. We went on a canal ride and visited the local market. Wow, they really eat some interesting stuff. Julie took a lot of pictures of kids. We are currently in Hangzhou. Tomorrow we hang out here for a while and then head to Shanghai. I tried to create a You Tube video and download some pixs, but it was too slow and the You Tube video timed out. Maybe it's the government blocking stuff.  More later!

Good to hear from you! I can't believe you're there, either. How cool. :) It'll be fun seeing your photos and video when you get back. Tell Julie hello and give her a kiss!
