Golden Pebble Beach again
Last weekend I went back to Golden Pebble Beach with some co-workers, but this year's trip was only for the day. It was much better this year since it rained during last year's trip, and we had a sunny day this time. The only bad part was that a few of us had gone out the night before to a friend's farewell party, and did not get home until well after 1:00am, so we were tired before the trip even began.
We visited some of the same places as last year, such as the wax museum and rock museum, etc... We also got to visit some new places such as this one place that had wood carvings. They had all kinds of things carved out of wood, such as this... uh, whatever this is...
Here I am with a pretty cool carving of Buddha...
This was a little inlet with a bunch of little fishing boats near where we had lunch...
After lunch we went to a place called Golden Rock Park. These are natural rock formations...
...with some places smoothed out and paved so people can walk through the rocky areas...
There were a lot of pretty rock formations...
...as well as pretty ladies. This is my friend Hong Yan. She was nice enough to hang out with me all day during the trip...
At this point the battery in my camera died, so no more picture for the rest of the trip.
After the rock garden we ended up going to a golf course and we hit a few golf balls at the driving range there. I had not swung a golf club in ages, so I did not do so well. Luckily, no one else in our group did either! I did much better afterwards when we went to a rifle range and did a little target shooting there.
We then went to the beach for awhile. The trip organizers put together some beach games, and most of our group played those. Some of us just hung out, relaxed, and watched the others play. After the beach we headed back to Dalian and ate at a really nice seafood restaurant. I had a great day. Sunday I woke up with a slight sun-burn. Thank goodness for aloe vera!
