morning missles


国庆节:Picture is of missle carrier passing our apartment this morning - part of the parade that eventually went past Forbidden City. If you look very carefully in the center you can see the missle carrier on the road that runs horizontal in pic - it has ten wheels. Later saw on TV that they had a big float honoring Mao - so some things will never change. In morning tried going on a run to our office near 4th ring road, which I thought would be away from hubbub. Nope. I found all roads blocked on the way due to throngs of tanks and military things filling the streets.

  1. Amazing view from the apartment! You really are in the heart of the city...exciting!

    I don't think I've ever seen a missile carrier being driven on a city highway! Hope you get your run in tomorrow morning! :-)
