My Mom is in China
I know, lucky her, right? She's going with my dad's brother and other members of his family. Apparently it's a fantastic travel deal and they're getting to do some pretty cool stuff. I thought it would be fun to post a few pics of where she has been so far.
They're staing in Beijing Right now, apparently at some really upscale hotel. Here's a phto of downtown.
Day before yesterday they went to Summer Palace and learn all about pearls. I'm sure it was interesting, but probably more interesting to look at!
Then yesterday they visited the Great Wall and the Olympic Village. This stadium is created to look like a bird's nest. Not sure what relevance that has to the Olympics, but at least it will look cool!
I look forward to her daily updates, she is having a wonderful time!
Go to wikipedia and look up bird's nest soup--it's a famous and expensive chinese delicacy.
That's just a weird building. Fifty years from now our grandchildren are going to be like, "what the heck were they thinking...?"
