Me: This morning we were wide awake at 3am (Beijing time). I ran the hotel halls for a 1/2 hour and then Bob and I went for a swim.
Found some snow outside the hotel and at 9:30am we rented a van to take us to the Silk Market.
The market was great fun. So many shops and you could really barter. I got a pair of jeans and the girls got some really cute dresses.
Bob and I had stamps made with our names in Chinese. The gal carved them on the spot and they turned out great.
Interesting architecture.
Smoke stacks in the city are plentiful.
The rivers are frozen over. It's cold here!
Christmas Eve and back at the hotel. Due to our extreme jet lag we ordered room service for supper and went to bed early.
Fun Day! Happy Christmas Eve!
Jane - What can I say...with your pics and comments I feel I am with you on your trip. Thanks for sharing. Are you freezing????
