Beijing Tour

Today we were separated into groups with families who's baby is from the same province. We had to meet downstairs in the lobby at 8:30am. Because of the time change, we kept waking up in the middle of the night to find it was only 12:00am or something and we had to force ourselves to sleep some more. We all ended up getting up at about 3am and went to breakfast with friends at 6:30am.




We went to the Forbidden City and walked about 2 miles!

As we were talking in Tianamen square, people kept staring at us because they are not used to seeing foreigners. People would take pictures of us or video tape us. They would just stand right next to you are stare at you and smile.. it was really weird. One of the couples in our group brought their little daughter on the trip and she seemed to be the favorite. People's faces lit up when they saw her because of her blonde hair and blue eyes. A LOT of people asked to take pictures with her and she didn't mind at all! We ran into three women who took turns picking her up for a picture. The woman in the picture below was the oldest out of the three and she kissed the poor little girl 's head, like, 100 times!
