Great Wall






The Simatai portion of the Great Wall is the most impressive section. It crosses a pictoresque mountain area and has not been regularly maintained. So the climbing can be a little taxing. Jim and I had a little extra fun making it look good for the camera. Patricia, of course, is the best looking part of our entire trip. Jim and I were exhausted. Not sure, how she looked so cool.

Shandong Province






It was my pleasure to join the American Chamber of Commerce on their trade visit to Shandong Province, China's largest economic contributor. We toured several manufacturing plants including Caterpillar, Bausch and Lomb and Pepsi. Additionally, we saw some other companies that were applying cutting edge technology to industries you would not otherwise expect. The fruit and vegatables at this one farm were schockingly impressive.

Underground Warriors




The Tombs of the Underground Warriors in Xian is truly an impressive sight.
