Lama Temple

You never know who of your friends may show up in Beijing! Lisa spent a few days in town and we visited the Lama Temple together yesterday afternoon. I have never seen so many Buddha statues in one place.
After eating a tasty dinner in a no-picture, no-English restaurant, we practiced our bargaining skills in a couple of stores and Lisa ended up with some very nice paintings and I with some compliments on my Chinese. We celebrated with a couple of beers at the Den and called it a night shortly after the second picture was taken.
