Mom and Rachael laughed pretty hard about this family size meal from KFC. Well, at least there is a KFC is what I have to say about that, ha ha!

The Ladies at the Bird's Nest for the Paralympics (GG's b-day gift)

Notice the nest shaped lights! Pretty cool.

Hadassah's second time here!

The track and field events were pretty sweet.

One of the Americans in the final 400m.

Can't come to China without doing a bit of shopping, or should I say running from sales clerks?!
(They were litteraly chasing us.)

Do you want pearls, pearls or pearls?

We built up an appitite with all that bartering.

We ate at "The Screaming Noodle." This was the first Chinese meal mom liked. I think she might have even loved some of it.

She loved this part at least :-).

Mom and Auntie Rachael took a few moments to look at this sight and I was like, 'what?'. I guess I'm getting pretty used to our surroundings.

Hadassah missed the part when we were shopping for paintings.

I thought this dog was going to jump at the camera. Maybe he would have if he wasn't enjoying his lunch that was bungied onto the bike seat.

Auntie Rachie getting arested for being too much fun :Oo
