Some Beijing Pictures from Saturday

We must have lost 5 lbs in water weight on this day! LOOOOOONG, hot day! Went to Tiananmen Square, The Forbidden City, The Summer Palace, a pearl market, and a silk museum. OH! and then we had dinner, and went to a Chinese Acrobat Show. It was about a weeks worth of site-seeing in a day!

AWESOME DAY!!! What a fun dinner place. Everything seems so ornate. Awesome that you made it to the pearl market. I wish we would've. Did you see silk comforters at the factory? Ron and I had one on one of our hotel beds over there and then we wished we'd have had one shipped home. They are pretty cool. We're making our shopping lis for someday when we return. :) You're only a day away Dawn!!! Keep trying to sleep. :)
