Beijing-- the photos
Bill (the spouse) entrusted me with his digital camera.... This was the first time I had ever used it without him standing by to give advice, encouragement.... Yikes!!
As it was, since I was doing most of the tourism in Beijing with our Australian colleague from the conference, Andrew Vincent, the pics that have me in were all taken by him. (Thanks, Andrew!) But I take credit for showing him how to do it.
Here's me in front of the Tienanmen Gate to the Forbidden City. The Prez of Israel was visiting at the time. Hence the Israeli flag-- one of many.
Here I am at the Great Wall:
This is an artistic picture by yrs truly of the end of a gable at a (heavily restored) building at the Great Wall at Badaling. The figure at the front is a man riding on a chicken, who is always there at the corners of all gables on imperial buildings, apparently.
Here I am at the Ming Tomb with two of our Chinese fellow-travelers (as it were):
Hi!
I like the pictures! Looks like you had a fun time in China. Congrats on learning to use the camera.
These pictures are very good. We didn't know of your trip until we received your package today. We want to thank you and Bill for the lovely gift box of Virginia goodies. We will share them with family and friends. The postcard enclosed was a beautiful shot of the Great Wall. What a hike!
Again thank you for the package. We wanted to send you and Bill something to show our gratefulness for the beautiful wedding and reception which is something we will certainly remember for a long time. Do you have some pictures of G & L that would be suitable for maybe enlarging to an 8 x 10? We have pictures of our son, Jim and Karen and Kathy and Bill from their wedding and would like to have one of Greg and Leila. Most of our pictures are not with the two of them close together. I probably shouldn't be writing this long message in your comments, but I got carried away! Hope to hear from you.
