Sorry for the long delay in posting (and finishing up part 4 of the blog. I know all of you were on pins and needles waiting for it). Mom and Dad have been in town for a week and a half and I have been busy playing tour guide with them over the past 9 days. Some of the activities:
- Guangzhou markets, especially the leather market;
- Beijing, and (of course)
- Macau (the Venetian).
I took the boys up to Beijing with Mom and Dad to see Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Great Wall again (as they were off school). Going to Beijing during a holiday weekend means crowds - and that means tons of natives that have never seen a blond boy before......
......after this picture was taken, our female tour guide came back from buying tickets and shooed everyone away. One comment was overheard - in English - "Wow. I am surprised that the mother is Chinese......."
