BEIJING:
Steve's Birthday in Beijing



Peeking over the edge of the Great Wall

A view from one of the towers

On the lookout for invaders

A quiet moment on the steps of the Great Wall

Because Kareem did not speak the language, he had to learn how to express himself without words


All packed and ready to go home! This looks like an ad for Kelty.
The rest of my pictures will be going up later today if all goes well. Cheak back soon!
YANG SHUO continued...
Biking through the countryside
Taking a break from biking to pose on a bridge. Note that Janet is already bleeding.
Kareem and his precious watermelon
Getting ready to climb. Kareem is thinking: "Steve, I hope you know what you're doing."
Hello Kareem!

Hello Steve!

The whole gang and our climbing guides. Shirtless Man was quite friendly and funny and nice, but alas he had a girlfriend.

Steve and Janet in front of Moon Hill

On top of Moon Hill

In a deep, dark place. Someone looks a little frightened

Wading through murky waters in the cave

Mudding

Eating street food

Typical breakfast of steamed buns

On the train for 27 hours going back to Beijing from Guilin. Notice the watermelon, the noodles, and the cards. Enough said.

Pictures!!

Pictures up to 8/4 are one Steve or Kareem's camera, so this is all I have so far. Thank you for your patience. Enjoy!
