Brent on the Great Wall of China
In the Forbidden City, Beijing,China
At the Olympic Village in Beijing, Bird's Nest Stadium
Hello again. We have been doing alot of moving around in the last few weeks....Thailand for a few days...then to Hong Kong for 5 days. We had a great time in Hong Kong....went to The peak...ate yummy chinese food....took the train alot....saw the largest sitting bronze buddha...did some shopping...visited with Pat and Juanita Tom and they took us to an Octoberfest in Hong Kong. It was great. There were more chinese than German's. Then we were off to China to start our last GAP Adventure tour. We started in Beijing...where Brent ate his deep fried scorpion....saw the Olympic village...went to The Great Wall....and saw the Forbidden City.
Next, we were on an overnight train to Xian. Definitely a smoother and nicer train that Vietnam. In Xian, we went to see the Terra Cotta Warriers....what an amazing site. Then we were off to Lhas,Tibet. We are at about 10,000 feet and love the clean air. The Portola Palace was magnificent.
Missing all of you and can't wait to see you in a couple weeks. We can't wait to be an aunt and uncle....very soon! Thank you for all of your messages.
Love,
Jennifer and Brent
