Beijing - Day 1

We visited Hutong, an ancient city of alleys and narrow lanes first built in the Yuan Dynasty. We visited the drum tower and then took a old-fashioned pedicab through the streets. This was fun. We made a stop at a local elementary school and visited with children who sang songs for us and demonstrated their English.

We came back to our room after lunch for a nap. We are all very tired but Lin-Ley seems to be having some serious jet lag. Poor little thing!
This evening we went to a Chinese acrobatic show. The performers were all amazing. Lin-Ley woke up for this!
Bath time - another busy day tomorrow....

Wow, just a few more days until you finally meet Tru! We can't wait to see pictures. Sounds like you're having a great time and getting to do lots of neat things in Beijing. Thanks so much for the updates. It's the next best thing to being with you in China again!

Take care,
Laura
