Two fantastic waitresses at the best Western restaurant in the city, Grandma's Kitchen.

 

Me in Nanjing.

 

A small river in Nanjing city.

 

One of the incredibly beautiful parks on the outskirts of the city. Note the newlyweds.

 

Great views were everywhere!

 

I love this one.

 

Animals protecting a temple rooftop. Commonly seen in the design of important, traditional Chinese architecture.

 

Tip for all those visiting China: Don't let the kids climb the statues. It can be considered extremely disrespectful.

 

A Nanjing lunch with tea. Really good, but can't match Sichuan fare!.

 

Speaking of Sichuan food....here's Shui Zhu Niurou. VERY hot and delicious!

 

My favorite: Gongbao jiding!

 

Ok, I had to add one I am not too thrilled with. Some sort of liver dish. Ugh.
