YMY

the view outside my window when I woke up on Sunday!

One of the best things about rainy days is that it almost guarantee that the next day will have a bright blue sky, which is a welcome change in Beijing.  It rained all day Saturday which left us with a beautiful Sunday, which I took advantage of by going to Yuan Ming Yuan park which is located about 100 meters from campus.  It is the old summer palace that was destroyed in the 1860's during the second opium war.  It now has ruins scattered throughout the park but the main attractions are the beautiful lakes, trees, and flowers that are plentiful.  It is truly a huge blessing to have such an amazing get away so close to campus!  Without further ado, here and some pictures :)
