Chinese New Year!




Jolene and I went to China for the Chinese New Year. We were in Beijing for 3 days. We saw the Great Wall, Forbidden City and had a chance to visit with a true Beijing'er. We had loads of fun....but it was cold.










Then we traveled up to bitter cold Harbin (-15 F) for the International Snow and Ice Festival. We nearly froze ourselves to death but still had a great time. Here is proof.
