Today we toured the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and the Great Wall. It started pouring about 10 minutes after we got to the Forbidden City, and so we didn't linger there. We did learn that the emperor generally had around 3000 concubines, and the majority of the buildings there were more or less whore houses. Good times. It dried out briefly for our climb of the Great Wall. No Maas vacation would be complete without a strenous climb at some historical site.Here is the enormous picture of Chairman Mao--Kevin's favorite.
Us at the Great Wall. I am freezing.

Off to work the estate sale at church. Last night was the wine tasting and preview sale, tons of people asked about you - the Darbys, Huiets, Nicholsons, Fanchers, Molly Copp, Robin & Marnie Smith, Lumpkins, James, and more. Many are following your blog - great idea, Mara!
Maby your next hotle will let you use the hair dryer - from the weather, doesn't look like it would matter.
Love, Mom
Nothing says vacation like a brothel.
