Tuesday afternoon we loaded up and flew back to Beijing after a final lunch banquet in Xian.
The weather in Beijing was beautiful (clear, 50's); the traffic - not so beautiful:
While sitting in traffic I watched the different cars go by. Most are brands we've seen (somteimes re-labled) but there was a new one for me:

ReplyDeleteWell you have almost made it through the first trip! I am surprised that your stomach has held out throughout this whole experience! Has anyone gotten sick from anything they have eaten? Can't wait for you to get back so we can hear more details of your trip. By the way, Lacey, Tyson and the kids are coming to visit again the weekend of my birthday so put it on your calendar! We'll probably host a little pool party on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteThe burger was good, but I have to say all the Chinese food was really tasty --- even the chicken feet from yesterday. No stomach problems - course I still have that bbq'd eel to face on Air China again!
