Summer Palace

Home to the longest corridor in the world (who really worries about claiming a title like that?), this is the place where the emperors 'summered' from their normal abode, the Forbidden City (as if one massive 'city' isn't enough). It was a little late when we got there, but the sunset was amazing. It almost made up for the huge man-made lake being drained for the winter. 

*and yes, the next two posts are also about the Summer Palace. Gmail is making me want to CUT someone. I had to email each picture separately. If the files are too big to send, why don't you tell me that when I attatch them, instead of making me wait ten minutes before getting an email that delivery failed? I guess it's not gmails fault, its the firewalls fault for making blogging so dang inconvenient. Yep, don't ranting now.*
