We're here - safe and happy AND
TIRED!!
After a long flight, we were all
safely at the Rosedale Hotel in Beijing by about midnight local time Friday
night. We got up early Saturday, ate a good breakfast (of noodles and
kiwi juice!), and set off in our buses to see the crowded city. We
started at Tiananmen Square, walked entirely through the Forbidden City, ate
lunch in a wonderful local restaurant, and ended up at the Summer Palace.
Some visited a fresh pearl farm. We probably walked 5 miles today
and saw at least one million people! LOTS of people everywhere.
Can't believe it's only been one day!
