Here's a link to an online album of a small sampling of our China pictures: I took nearly 800!

Wow! Great shots! Looks like you went to all the places I'd love to see. Any place that particularly stands out in your mind? Any place you'd love to go back to again?

Any and all of them!
A tour like this was of necessity a whirlwind, so we didn't have a lot of time in any one place. I could easily have spent a full day or more in most of the places on the tour. I've only shown a few of them here.

Lovely, now I've actually had a look!

I had a CD sitting around filled with other .jpg pictures (taken by the former owner of our new home during his kitchen restoration).
Just for the heck of it, I popped it into our DVD player, and voila! A slideshow of the pictures on the disc!
I'm planning on making a CD of our best shots to show the family when they come up to visit on Thanksgiving.

Those of you who have lots of pics in the computer and want a nice easy way to display them for others, this would fit the bill. You can easily mail them to family and friends to watch at home too.

EDIT-- well DUH- I just noticed that my great discovery was exactly what Guru had already described. I must still be jetlagged...

So nice!
Char is cute.
My favorite pic may have been the big cave Buddha.

That was from a Buddhist temple. That same mountainside with that Buddha had MANY carvings of Buddha in all sorts of poses and sizes. The main temple had a HUGE Buddha carved from camphorwood and gilded. Another hall had large bronze sculptures of Buddha's disciples: 500 of them! Plus subsidiary temples, gardens, etc. When they did things in China back in the day, they did it BIG.

btw-- I agree that Charlene is cute
