BEIJING 2008

We went to town with Jessie on her day off to shop in the Silk Market. 
Jessica and Phil bought tailor made suits.  Jessie bought 2, 3 piece (pant, shirt, jacket) suits and Phil 1, 2 piece suit. 
Phil also had an over coat made. 
The Ladies then went on to shopping for Pearls. 
The ladies also found other bargains, Boots, Wallets, Shirts, Silk Sheets, the list goes on and on......

At night 20 of us went out for Peking Duck Dinner.  The cost was around $10 per person.

bulletParalympic Village:

The Athletes are living in apartments.

The apartments are new and sold. After the Paralympics the village will become a new living community in Biejing.

Health is number one concern in the USA apartments.

The Village is very Nice.

Landscaping is the best of the 3 we have attended.

They have people!

Individuals are responsible for their lawns. They water, and replace bad grass for new grass. There are alot of eople each with a space.

Jesies 4 room apartment is also the internet Cafe!
