Beijing May 25-29

Hi Everyone, Tom here. What I have decided to do with my pictures is to post most of the key people shots of our group, plus some other folks directly to the blog, but I will post the full files of my pictures to my Kodak site and only post a link to Kodak in the blog. That way, and with the blog already getting sooooooo large (as Marshall says, it takes five minutes already to get to the end of it just when scrolling), I won't overwhelm it with my large files. The Kodak site is real good, by the way, and you can download full data files should anyone want a specific photo. Great job so far with the blog by the way. Chuck, you are really pulling together a super record of our trip here -- well done. And well done to all who have viewed and participated in the blog so far. Captain Tom

  1. Tom and I heard a group singing and decided to see what was going on. I sent this recording and music to my Chinese friend to translate but he said this was a song with which he was not familiar. He thought it might be a more recent political song.

  2. Whatever it was it doesn't matter because the vocal group was so good. I wish we would have had more time to just stand there and listen to them.
