We had a great day today touring The Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and the Silk Factory.
Surprisingly, we weren't all that tired! The excitement is kicking in. We did a little shopping, and Dan is really enjoying being able to exercise his bartering talent.
We even had some traditional Beijing Duck for dinner.
I asked the girls what they found most interesting today. They found it quite funny how people stared at us and wanted to take our pictures. They observed how few children you see in the crowds. And the drivers...well it's beyond crazy. The traffic lights are kind of like suggestions. Tomorrow we travel about 2 hours by plane to Ivy's province, Anhui. We can't wait.
