becca arrived from Washington at the start of our month-long spring festival break from school. the much-needed break made getting only one day off for christmas a little easier to take. we spent the first week and a half in beijing (until our friend form chicago, susan, arrived to visit also.) naturally we did the most important things first-- like ice-biking.
we went ice biking at a larger lake than the first time. at this lake everyone shared the ice: skaters, sledders, bikers, battery-operated little cars, even the goat cart you could rent to pull you around.
you never know what you'll see....

the sleds are basically a couple of old retired chairs from elementary school classrooms affixed to a metal sled bottom. then they give you two mini ski poles and send you on your way.

one of the many country-wide exercise parks. people of all ages use them, and they're all over the city.
