Beijing China.... A Few Pictures

We're still here in Beijing, China and loving every moment. We've only got four days here and our itinerary is overflowing with things to do. Today we saw the Temple of Heaven and Forbidden City... then most of us went to the theater to see a flying acrobats show that turned out to be quite amazing. Our hotel here in Beijing is rather lavish and the food has been mostly good. The only real problem with Beijing is the Chinese government likes to censor online material and will not allow us to view our own blog.... I seem to have no problem reaching the administrative site to post material... but none of us have any access to any blog site whatsover... or any news site for that matter... The Chinese block access to USA today and other mainstream american media web sites... pretty crazy!

I have uploaded a web album to Picasa... the pictures should be in chronological order from the time we arrived in Japan to now.... I'll continue to add more photographs so check back every so often. Sorry I don't have too many group pictures! Shawn Spendlove... our group photographer... is supposedly going to have more photos available soon... and his work will certainly be of higher quality than mine... so keep watching for more pictures. Meanwhile... I'll post a more comprehensive journal entry of our stay in China once we leave Beijing.
