Holy Mao! was it cold out there when we took our tour! Later, Paul went out with the gang for Peking Duck and Maya and I went back to the hotel for some R & R.
We've hit the 'Silk Market' a few times now. There isn't much 'silk' to be seen though -it's more of a large indoor flea market where the vendors sell counterfeit goods. Anyone want an 'Amani' for 200 Yuan ? Bargaining is expected in malls such as these, and you really can get some amazing deals. You can also get fleeced big-time, so you have to know your prices, and know how to maintain a good 'poker face'.

Don't forget to pick up your "Little Red Book". I did, and I think it will be a collector's item. Stay warm.

Thanks for the lovely pictures you have been sending of Maya. She is absolutely beautiful and most certainly God's precious gift to both of you. We are so glad that you have been doing such good sightseeing. Just love the pictures.
Take care

What a lovely journey. Maya is adorable and I am sure you can hardly wait to bring her to her new home with all the puffy snow. She is indeed blessed to be welcomed into such a caring home and daughter to truly loving parents. Can't wait to see her and of course, the smiles on your faces!
Love, Rosemarie & Colman
