Our 3 Cameras Took Over 1,000 Pictures

There were lots of lantern pictures.

Maranda and I in front of Bird's Nest, the stadium where the opening and closing games of the Olympics were held.
Maranda and I doing the Lady and the Tramp moment.
Slippery Little bugger
Maranda enjoying candied strawberries.

A steamed dumpling shop we happened upon.
We had many experiences with food on a stick.
Tea.

Me playing in one of the nooks on the Great Wall.

Michele playing in another.
Michele and I doing lunges up the steps. Note how there's nobody around us. Our own, private Great Wall.
Maranda participating in a game that combined jump roping and running.

Maranda and I in front of Chairman Mao Memorial Museum
My favorite picture of the 3 of us taken in front of the Forbidden City at sunset. I love how empty Beijing was.

Michele and I chair skating at Houhai Lake... one of my favorite activities that we stumbled accidentally upon.
Maranda and I in Tiananmen Square, just before the cop cars started herding everybody out. It was really cold.

Wow, what amazing pictures! I absolutely love the chair sitting on ice structure- that thing is freakin' hilarious! Can you imagine doing that on an ice skating rink here in the US? You would get laughed out of the place. Life is getting crazy busy here. Got another case at Children's Law Center, got an interview on Friday for an internship and of course spending the majority of my day studying. Whew, life seems to be speeding up more and more these days. Hey, you been watching the Bachelor? If you have, I gotta tell you my bet is its going to be Melissa that Jason picks. The two are absolutely adorable together. Anyways, love you lots and miss you even more.
