Another Day in Beijing




Another great day in Beijing. We decided to sleep in this morning and try and get over some of our jet lag. Although there is so much we want to see in Beijing, we really want to get on China time before we meet Alisha.
After a leisurely morning, we went down the street to the Forbidden City and Tannimen Square. Forbidden City was beautiful and so full of history. We walked through some beautiful gardens and walked around the square. After our long afternoon checking out the sights, we had some relaxing time at the hotel pool. It is in the basement of the hotel and its like you are on a tropical island. So relaxing, that Jerry and I both took a quick nap before dinner.
We wish we could have seen more of this wonderful city but we are off tomorrow to Wuhan and finally meet Alisha on Monday.

Sounds like Beijing is the place to visit - Glad that you are finally over your jet lag and enjoying the sightseeing.

I'm also counting down the time till ALISHA DAY - Can't wait to see her picture and hear all about her.

Love,

MOM

It is so beautiful...it must be almost overwhelming. I am so glad that you were able to relax and unwind a bit. Good luck on your travels to Wuhan.
