The long delay in updates is due to many things. Visitors, work, lack of working internet connection. So without much further ado, here are some new pictures from the last couple of weeks.

We had the change to spend the first weekend of April in Beijing with Team U.S. (D's parents and sisters family) and Team Finland (my parents). We were a respected tour group of 13 people, ranging from 4 to 71 years of age. Here we are visiting the Forbidden City

We stumbled upon an interesting food street with diverse options for lunch. Here is the menu over one of the stalls.

Select something finger lickin' from this menu?

Or maybe just let your eyes do the eating?

 

...nah, still just looking...

 

Um, maybe not so hungry anymore.

Our trip to Beijing was complete with a visit to the Great Wall. It really is something else and the weather cooperated beautifully as well.

Kids probably liked the decent the best - a bob sled course (metal half pipe and a sled).
