Here is a picture of Delainie and Chairman Mao. She was a great sport in the rain. I think she rather liked the rain. She wanted to run in the rain but it was too crowded at the FC. Yes, crowded. There were a lot of visitors even in the rain.
We entered in the city gate and it was raining. We borrowed
Shu shu's umbrellas. 
We need to buy some of our own. I want one of the ones that also block UV. Maybe Wu mart will have them.
Here are the gates entering the FC. They are impressive even in the rain.
I don't know if you know this but the Olympics are going to be in Beijing in 2008. Everywhere you can see these green screens where they are renovating things. This was also apparent at the FC. Somethings we just couldn't see.
Here you can see the rain stopping. My main goal of this trip was to experience China with Delainie. I want her to see and have memories of her birth country. When we visit sited I have already been to I push her up front to see it while I hang in the background. Watching her as she see HER country's history come alive right in front of her. It is great to watch.
Here our lovely model, Delainie, shows you how large some of these sites are. She said to me. "My, Mama, China sure does have a lot of steps." I said "yes, sweetie. They do." "Mama, they are beautiful steps" "Yes, Delainie, they are." "Imagine actually living in some place like this." " But Mama, it is so big ." "Yes, Delainie, it is."
Don't we just love our girls! Here she is in the back garden of the FC. The rain had stopped by now and it was getting humid.
Don't you just love Chinese architecture! I could spend the entire day just taking pictures of the little details. But then I would miss they beauty of the entire place. This dragon is a great example on buildings all over China.
Here is a picture of Delainie with our personal guide Shu shu.
We went to lunch here. It was very crowded.
