More China





These are some of the delicious kabobs you can get on the streets of Beijing. The second one is our favorite restaurant down the street from our hotel in Beijing. It's decorated in dark wood and the walls are stained yellow from all the cigarette smoke. It looks like a place that would be in an old western movie so Elle and I did our best old western poses.
The Mao portrait is at one of the old Beijing gates and is the entrance to the Forbidden City which is also pictured.

Amazing trip and great job making it to Everest! Yak shagger just became my new favorite insult. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is such a yak shagger.

I like the high elevation lake. Any chance of dropping a ski nautique in there for the world's highest wakeboarding session?..Just joking.

P.S.
What do the locals where you travel have to say about America? Is it like Europe where everyone wants to talk about American politics as soon as they find out where you are from?
