Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and did a Hutong Tour.
For the Hutong Tour (Hutong's are small regions or districts within the city),
we got to ride a rickshaw. That was pretty cool.
It's almost 9 p.m. our time. We're wiped. Trying to stay awake during dinner
is difficult. On another note, we've met all but one member of our travel group
and they are great!
So, please forgive that I'm not writing about each picture that posted tonight...I
just really can't put a proper sentence together.
Oh D, you didn't give me the low down on all the squatty potty's....found out
the hard way that the public bathrooms in one of our tours had both.
Oh well....at least I can say that I've been there and done that. ;-p
We also found that the public bathrooms are on a rating system similar to
hotels. We saw one that was a 4 star...the bathroom I visited definitely
wasn't 4 stars.
Enjoy the pics. Tomorrow the Great Wall!
