While the Plaza Mayor encourages congregation, I would imagine that Tiananmen officials would rather not have too much congregation for too long, given it's location within the capital, LOL. -Jack Thanks Rick for the insightful comment. :)

Architectural a public square is not so much judged by scale solely but also aesthetics and civic parameters. Salamanca's Plaza Mayor is very small but one of the most beautiful public spaces in all of Europe. Why? In part because it serves as a point of congregation for the people of the city. It's like a communal living room with pedestrian friendly architecture. Hi Jack, yes you’re correct that Tienanmen Square is much larger than Red Square.

My in-laws are really spoiling Kevin with their affection. :) Kevin is having a great time. I didn't go to to Great Wall this time. It didn't fit into our plans this time although, I really wanted to see it again. Sylvia - thanks for the comment Sylvia. I couldn't agree more. When I went to the Great Wall in 2005, it was easily my favorite. It seemed like forever to get to the top, but only seemed to take 20 minutes or so to come back down. I remember that the wall seemed to stretch on forever as we climbed. What a spectacular site it was! BTW, the food is excellent in Beijing. Some of the best cuisine I've ever experienced is from there. Beijing hot pot is among my favorites. ;) Lowell – I think that might be an understatement, LOL.

I have noticed how much your parents-in-law are just loving their grandson. I think that is absolutely terrific! I look forward to some more pictures if you're going to put them up.
