Thanks for all of the great comments!
Here are some pictures of the first part of our trip to China before Caleb.
Packing - Had to get Mom to do it, there was just too much!
Grammie and Poppy to be!
On our way to the airport, so excited!
The next day waiting in the Toronto airport.
Me and Flat Stanely waiting for our flight to Beijing!
About 11 hours later we arrived in Beijing. We watched a few movies, slept a bit and it seemed like every half hour they were feeding us or offering us drinks.
Here we are in the Beijing Airport. It was newly built for the Olympics. It was an amazing building.
These are a few pictures of some of the buildings in Beijing. This was an older part of the city.
The next few pictures are of the Lama Temple. It is a place of worship for people in Beijing. It is the most famous Buddhist temple outside of Tibet. There was many people there praying and lighting incense it was almost hard to breathe. In one of the halls there is an 80 foot high Buddha carved from a single piece of sandalwood. It was huge! No pictures were allowed though.
This is Ghost Street. The street is lined with restauraunts and they have red lanterns up and down the street. We had supper there with our group.
