CRYSTAL AND ISABEL This is a weblog for Crystal Sun Zhao and Isabel Sun Zhao. As parents, we'd like to keep the records for them as much as we can.

It’s our final day in Beijing, the only rainy day while we are in Beijing. It’s the time to say goodbye to friends in Beijing.

On Day 7, Aug. 20th, we visit Great Wall and Ming Tombs. Uncle Zhao in Beijing drives us there. There are many people on the Great Wall. Crystal and I climb a long way. Some places are very steep. But, it is no problem for Crystal at all. She climbs and chats with me casually.

On Aug. 19th, day 6, we go to the Summer Palace of Beijing. Liuge accompanies us today again. We have stayed at Liu’s place for 5 days already. Then we will move to Crystal’s grandparents’ place for the next 2 days.

There are 6 finals: Women’s Discus Throw, Women’s Pole Vault, Men’s Long Jump, Men’s 3000m Steeplechase, Women’s 800m and Men’s 400m Hurdles. Women’s Pole Vault is the last event to finish.
