While my parents were visiting, I took them out around in Beijing. Every day something different.
Caught red handed! (or should I say red-faced...?)
This little yellow terrorist has been eating all the flowers, throwing them around the house, eating the remote controls and newspapers, and making lots of noise.
City gate South of Tian'anmen Square
City gate South of Tian'anmen Square by night
We walked around one of the many hutongs
People playing Go on a sunny spring afternoon. They don't seem to mind that they are sitting on a busy intersection (near Zhangzizhonglu) with the traffic rushing past them.
Too bad I didn't record the sound this dog was making. In the hutong that we walked in, it seemed like everyone and all the animals were staring at us.
The local fish vendor
These fish were still alive; sometimes jumping out onto the ground. That's as fresh as it gets around here.
Someone left a pair of yellow boots
Plastic bottle buyer. People walk all around the city to collect empty plastic bottles and sell them per kilo.
Piles of paper and cardboard are delivered in small carts and stacked onto this truck.
This car has no hood, a hole in the wind screen and a busted front.
We ended the day at "Li Qun's Beijing Roast Duck Restaurant". It is a famous place, and we had only one hour to eat. The roast duck was delicious.
By the front door guests can inspect 'their duck' being roasted
Lanterns
I title this photo: "Abbey Road" ~ it is actually policemen parading on Tian'anmen Square
Two girls asked if they could take a photo with my mother
More security forces on Tian'anmen Square
