长城 The Great Wall!

---

I have not been the biggest fan of our Saturday Forced Family Fun activities, where we spend a lot of time waiting for people, argue about where to go and dive headfirst into tourist traps. However, this past Saturday's trip to the Great Wall was AWESOME! We went to the Jinshanling 金山铃 section, a few hours away from Beijing. We also visited a nearby Catholic village where they had pictures of Jesus on the walls.

Twin Boys
This book I am reading said that they often hang photos like these up in the houses of newly-married couples, because having twins is the only way a couple could legally have more than one boy.

Han Bing and Han taitai!
Han Bing's wife came along too - she was super nice!

HI!
HAHA Sara I just typed "Catholic village nearby Jinshanling Great Wall" into Google because I wanted to see if there was more info about that area we visited, and this page was one of the first hits! I clicked on it not really knowing what it was and then the first picture was Han Bing and his wife and I was like whaaa and it took me a second to realize this was a CLSer's blog. Woo good story. You take awesome pictures, the blog looks great! 明天见 :)
