Summer Palace

Although the pollution made the long distance viewing very challenging, I had the opportunity to check out the Summer Palace today. My eyes were burning, and it feels like there is something in my throat, but I have to get out to see the sights!

Every support beam along the Long Hall, had a separate painting! Unbelievable for being around 150 years old!
This boat isn't going anywhere too soon! But I guess a stone boat would be hard to power!

I have finally found the correct design for the boat that Chaz and I are going to build out of milk cartons to cross the Olentangy River!
