China Memories Pt.1

Here are the first 3 memories I’d like to share with you.

I was amazed at the police uniforms all over China. They definitely had a sense of military power, which made the police more intimidating than usual for me.

This lovely little girl had the most haunting beautiful eyes in all of Xi’an. Her mother carried her along the same path that a couple of friends and I were walking and we coincidentally ended up in the same restaurant for breakfast. I snapped this photo without hesitation.

While in Beijing, our group entered a Jade factory where I purchased a hand-carved Chinese stamp. Here’s a photo of the craftsman engraving my name into it.

Back in America

Back and Proud

So it’s been just over a week since my return from China. It was quite the trip and there are so many things to write about and share. I’m still editing photos and gathering memories to post, so please be patient. If there’s one thing I can say with good ol’ American pride, it’s that the food in our country rocks. I missed simple sandwiches and snacks of the non-fish variety. First chance I got, I devoured a hamburger. Mmmm! So good!
