Harbin, China December 30 and 31, 2006

We spent the last two days of 2006 touring Harbin, China. In -16 centigrade weather, we visited massive ice and snow sculptures, and the National Siberian Tiger Preserve, where over 700 tigers are raised, in an effort to save this dying breed of one of the most magnificent animals on the face of the earth.
