Some pics

I don't know where the pictures go...it syas that they are being uploaded and then i check and they are't ...what's up with that.....ONE MORE ATTEMPT. Nope I give up that was all that I could muster.Enjoy the 5 I had about 15 that I tried to get on Kind of maddening.S


Above is Bob and part of my finger...it gets in the picture a few times, and part of the skyline of the city. This goes on for miles....and kilometers too...the state sets the price that people can charge for the rent...
Thought I would be really smart and load up like 20 Pictures...well I tried only got these 4 ....don't know where the others went. These are all of Tianamen square....a fairly big place. Nothing more to add...I shall return to also see the Summer Palace. Notice the little tike there....flag in hand.

We had a couple of girls come up to us just to talk and to work on their English skills. They stayed around for a about 15 minutes.....Bob has his in tow behind him.
This is the Summer Palace and we did not go there. This was the only really big picture of Mao that I have seen. I think that they are really downplaying his influence on the Chinese way of life.
The Chinese guard..I think...something like the
Mounties...people want to have their picture taken with them...then they walk to another spot.
