More pics

Okay, here are some pics from a few days ago. The first is obviously from the Great Wall. This was as high as K and E made it. I went to that small platform between where we are in this photo and the next tower up. In this photo, we are standing on top of one of the guard towers. As you can see, EJ had her hair done into a traditional Chinese hairdo by the nice ladies at the jade factory.

Here we are in the rickshaw before the hutong tour. K's driver was so crazy in traffic that our guide yelled at him when we got off at the first stop and they fired him from our gig and got a replacement driver!


And yes, these are fighting crickets, raised by the hutong family where we had lunch. I don't think I ate any crickets there, but you can't be sure! Actually, the food we had there was the best meal so far!


And Uncle E, this one's for you. Here we are in Tiananmen Square with the entrance to the Forbidden City behind us.
