Sorry, more China pictures!
I had to put this picture on... we had a layover in Tokyo -- I bought my favorite candy bar... kit kat -- yep, there isn't anything wrong with the picture - my candy bar was green and it didn't taste right LOL
Hands down, Beijing was my all time favorite city! We went to the neatest places. We got to see where the Olympics were going to be held and the city was gorgeous not to mention the shopping was GREAT! This was our view outside the hotel! 
All of us at Ming Tomb in Beijing
Hungry anyone??
I loved the shopping! A lot of times, they would make the craft you wanted to buy right in front of you! I can not even tell you how talented some of these chinese people were!
Being up on the Great Wall of China was surreal! I couldn't believe I was there! It had the most breath taking views! Isn't it gorgeous!?!
I love these women! They were hilarious! They were attempting to ride the hand railing down the Great Wall!
Having a blast on the Great Wall of China
Lots of people wanted pictures with the 'Americans' - I was able to get this kiddo's mom to take a picture with my camera too. He felt so special! What a cute kid!
This is considered a parking lot
Taxi anyone???
We got to go see how they make pearl jewelry! Super fun!
Not uncommon to see this....
Or this
This was our first hotel! Me and Teri were sharing a room.. she started busting up laughing and told me to take a closer look at our night stand....
Yep, it's condoms and it says in a variety of languages - Love life Refuse Aids.
I had to get a picture! So like I said, most everyone rides bikes or scooters in China. Women shield their skin from the sun (especially their face) because over there the lighter your skin is, the higher up in society you are thought to be. (usually feild workers have really dark skin) It cracked me up the masks they would wear!
This huge Buddha was right outside our hotel!
I love this picture! This little guy was so cute!
We went a year before the 2008 Olympics. They were just getting everything ready! Here is a sign they had started contructing for those visiting the Great Wall.

I love this picture! This little guy was so cute! This is how everyone sits over in China (minus the umbrella and flag of course) - young or old, everyone is squatting. (and smoking)
Another Palace in Beijing! This one was HUGE!! So huge, we lost my grandma here! I was a little panicked at the time! LOL But it's hilarious now when we talk about it!
