China- An Epic Affair

China was amazing! Tiananmen Square, rickshaws, The Forbidden City, The Temple of Heaven, The Summer Palace, The Ming Tombs, pearls, jade, silks, cloisonne, The Great Wall, Xi`an's Terra Cotta Soldiers...

although I was fairly ill and lacking juice in my camera, I managed a rickety little video that came to an appropriately abrupt stop:



An epic trip to say the least AND in addition to fabulous birthday celebrations... drum roll please dah-dah-dah-dah: Don proposed to Mom on the Great Wall so they will be officially tying the not! Guess who is to be the maid of honor? ;-)

This was an experience I won't soon forget! Click on the links below for the sights and splendor of China!
