CHINA

WE WENT TO THIS MARKET THAT SERVES CRAZY STUFF THAT U CAN EAT. THERE WERE ALL TYPES OF STUFF FROM CHICKEN LIVERS, STAR FISH, SEA HORSE, TONGUE, SCORPIONS AND LOTS MORE. IT WAS FUN TO SEE WHAT THINGS PEOPLE WOULD EAT. IT DID HAVE A FUNKY SMELL.

THIS IS THE BIRDS NEST FROM THE '08 SUMMER OLYMPICS. IT WAS AN AMAZING BUILDING. WE ALSO SAW THE WATER CUBE WERE THEY HAD THE SWIMMING EVENTS.
WE WERE ABLE TO GO TO ONE OF THE BEIJING ZOOS AND SEE PANDA BEARS. THIS WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS. WE WERE SO CLOSE TO THEM. THIS PANDA WAS PUTTING ON A SHOW FOR US. IT WAS AWESOME.
SOME BAMBOO WITH CHINESE WRITING.
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH PLACE THIS WAS, I THINK IT WAS THE TEMPLE OF HEAVEN BUT NOT SURE. IT WAS REALLY NEAT THOUGH.
WE WERE ABLE TO GO TO CHURCH IN CHINA. THEY HAVE 3 BRANCHES IN BEIJING. IT WAS AWESOME. THEY HAVE SOME STRICK RULES THERE. LIKE NO PROSELYTING AND NO FOREIGN MEMBERS CAN ASSOCIATE WITH MEMBERS WHO ARE CHINESE. THEY MEET IN A BUSINESS BUILDING. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE. IT WAS VERY COMFORTING.
THE GREAT WALL. THIS WAS VERY COOL TO SEE. THERE WERE SOME PARTS THAT WERE SO STEEP U HAD TO HOLD ON TO THE RAIL GOING UP AND DOWN. WE SAW SOME WOMEN IN HIGH HILLS THAT WERE HAVING A HARD TIME.

THE GREAT WALL.
TIENIUM SQUARE.
THE BEST AIRPLANE FOOD I'VE EVER EATEN. THIS WAS DINNER GOING FROM L.A. TO KOREA. IT WAS SO YUMMY. AND FREE!

THIS WAS A WAY FUN TRIP AND IM SO GRATEFUL FOR MY MOTHER IN LAW AND JUSTIN FOR TAKING CARE OF THE KIDS AND LETTING ME GO. IT WAS A NEAT EXPERIENCE.

What a fun trip - such an awesome experience and I am so jealous. I love that you said the food was free - I bet it cost a few hundred dollars at the very least ;) if you know what I mean.
