Heaven on Earth


Beau and I rode out to the Temple of Heaven last Sunday. This was by far the best tourist attraction I have seen yet. We met Rahman there and hung out for the afternoon.




After the temple, we took a detour to Tienanmen Square to look around and take pictures with Mao (unfortunately, even Tienanmen Gate is being rennovated.)

On the way back home, we stumbled across an old Catholic church which was built in 1901. The grounds-keeper let us in through the side door and we spent the better half of an hour exploring the neo-gothic style church and taking pictures. We even met the priest!

So did you stand on the center of the ToHeaven and listen to the reverb? Did you squeeze close to the wall and listen to someone on the other side of the circular wall?

Looking at those pictures of you sure makes me miss you. So close on the screen, yet so far away.
Love,

I think you inherited your "stomach of steel" from me. I love that you have the courage to try the different cusuine. You look pretty healthy and happy. Keep those pictures and comments coming. Makes my day!
Love you,
Gramma
