Welcome
to the record of our trip to China! We are Fritz and Marie, and we live in
Northern California. Here we are with our bags packed, setting out on a grand
adventure.
These are just a few pictures from our tour of China. We took along two digital cameras, and brought back
well over 2,000 pictures. The biggest job is selecting which ones to use
for the web site. Comments to WebMaster@Peacham.com
Web site organization
I like detail in my pictures. Most of the full size images in
here are 200 Kbytes or more, This can take a while to download on a dial-up
connection. That's why my pages have just the small "Thumbnail" images
on them. To see the full sized image, click on the thumbnail. Try it on
the picture of us above.
We have tried to include both information about both specific
destinations, and general topics related to travel in China. The destinations
which we visited are either listed on the navigation bar or under the nearest
large city. For the general topics, click on the "Topics" button
above.
We
started by buying a packaged tour from Ritz
Tours. The value received was outstanding! They put us in top-notch hotels,
provided a tour director who went with us all the way and had local guides at
each stop. At the end of the package, when the rest of our group was returning
to San Francisco, we added on two more days to visit Guilin. We left
California on May 7th and returned on the 23rd.
I have edited these pictures to try to reproduce accurately the sights that we saw. To get the most out of my efforts you should first set your display mode to at least
16-bit color. This should show the following bar as having smooth color transitions.
Now, looking at the boxes below, adjust your monitor by turning
the contrast all the way up and then adjusting the brightness until you
are able to see the difference (at least) between the two darkest blocks, and ideally
between the two lightest blocks also.
