I figure Mom will kill me if I end here on a belly dancer, so here's a bunch of pics coming up from the Imperial Summer Palace. Our group went their Sat., of our first weekend in Beijing. The Summer Palace is gorgeous, dominated by the main lake and main complex overlooking the water and central Beijing. The park is massive, and deserves a return visit when I get tiime. The highlight, for me at least, was driving boats on the lake...I loved it cause with me at the helm our boat was continuously in ramming mode. Didn't sink any battleships but I hit a couple pretty good.
