lake-side Summer Palace, originally uploaded by grimlockq.

6 days in Beijing. Only one more day left. We’ve done and seen it all! Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Lama Temple….and the list continues. Overall its been exhausting but also eye opening, especially for my Dad I think. This is his first time out of the country, finally returning to the land he was born 55 years later. And I don’t think its be easy for him, physically or mentally. At the same time I’m sure a couple weeks from now, I think he’ll realize how important this trip was for him. Until then, I’ll hold my own reflections…
