Greetings and hello from the beautiful country of China! We just returned from a fabulous trip that took us from Beijing to Hong Kong. We landed back in Belgium this morning are jet lagged and exhausted from non stop site seeing, shopping and walking. The picture above is of us at the Forbidden City in Beijing. I will try to post just the most exceptional picutres since Bob took over 1500 photos!
Before we even checked into our hotel on our first day in Beijing, we went to a traditional tea ceremony where the cutest Chinese woman showed us how to drink tea and differentiate between varieties. She also taught us which tea would give us more energy and which tea would make us remember all the things we tend to forget. It was a nice and relaxing way to start the trip and learn about a Chinese custom that we would be taking part in over and over again.

We can't wait for the rest of the pictures. What a great experience. Hope to hear all about it when you are here. Glad you are back safe and sound! Happy you had such a wonderful trip. We need a camera like that!! Now do I have to have better tea available? I guess Lipton in a teabag wouldn't do there.
