OK.. gonna try and attach a picrure. Someone please email me to let us know if it posted. That's us in front of the acutal Temple of Heaven.. they have the copy in EPCOT like I said yesterday. BIG park.. and it being Sunday lots of locals in the park enjoying the day. It was really cool.. I mean it's hard to put into words what we saw. It was a warm day that's for sure.
After the Temple of Heaven we went to the Silk Factory where we got a silk quilt/comforter.. to put in our duve(sp) cover. IT's really nice.. We saw how they get the silk off the worms and got a pillow too. funny we were looking for new pillows lately!!! WE didn't buy a duve, it would have been $200-300 .. that's more than I'd pay at home for a comforter.. so we passed on that and didn't buy any clothing either. You couldn't bargain there and it was about the same price as at home..and we really didn't NEED any high end silk tops or stuff. We'll see what we see in Guangzhou.. everyone says that's the place to shop.
So next on to Lunch.. which was good.. had a show, but they took a break pretty much the entire time we were there.. figures..
Next off to Tianamen Square and the Forbidden City/Imperial Palace. Um Wow.. again words fail. Things are on such a massive scale. And the number of people too.. just soo many people everywhere. We were looked at lots.. and one little boy was very shy and asked to have our picture taken with him.. I'm kicking myself for not handing our camera to get the same picture.. We were just a bit flushed from the attention. lots of stares and after a bit ya just wish they'd get over it. Can kinda.. i mean Kinda see what it's like to be a celebrity but with them everyone knows who you are....
We are back in the room for a quick shower.. much needed!!! IT's hot out.. but no where near as humid as it is at home. We need to meet George in the lobby at 4:10pm or 16:10. We are going to an acrobat dinner show. Should be neat. Then back to the room for some sleep. We have to check out at 6am to get over to the train station and off to Tianjin.. where we get the gal. as I type that.. my heart starts to race.
Well.. Gotta get our stuff together to head out. We MIGHT be online tonight.. 8am Sunday for you all... but we will NOT be online 8pm Sunday.. we will do our darndest to be online for you all Monday 8amish .. with the gal. It all depends on how she's handling one of the hardest days of her life.
Thank you for all your prayers...we can sense it.. it's pretty cool. Bye for now.
