After a whirlwind of a trip to the train station we all made it safely on the overnight train to Beijing!! Thanks to everyone who saw us off and picked us up!!
We left about 7:40pm from Shanghai arrived in Beijing this morning at 7:15am and were met by Amanda who went out of her way to make sure that we arrived smoothly at our hotel.
There was not much down time as we all quickly put our bags in the room and hit the city of Beijing!!
Somehow we all split up after arriving at Tienanmen Square, where Ryan, Megan and Melanie had a whirlwind of an experience visiting the Forbidden city with their very own personal tour guide for a few hours. Then Ryan really wanted to fly a kite in Tienanmen Square - although the winds were quite strong. Then off to the Temple of Heaven.
Amy spaced out on the Communist statues near Mao's Mausoleum and got separated from the group, then spent the day in hutongs around Qianhai Lake, as well of course visiting the Forbidden City.
Patricia and Kecia hit the FC and went shopping!!
Today is Patricia's birthday and we intend to celebrate with the traditional Peking Duck!!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Patricia!!!!!
More stories later, and photos to come!
