Golden Tree & Pearl Tower

This is was very beautiful to see. Hanging off this tree were hundreds of red ribbons. The locals would purchase a ribbon and throw it up into the tree. It woud bring them good luck. This is a culture that puts so much stock into luck. It seems to me that most things here have some kind of bad or good luck attached to them. This beautiful tree was certainly of the good nature. By the way, that's me and the boys in the center of the picture. They are in their new, fancy stroller. Another bribe from Michael. :-)

This is China's Pearl Tower on the left. It is a television tower. People can go up into it, though we haven't yet. It's on our to do list. I'll take some pictures when we're up and post them.
