Beijing
When we arrived in Beijing it was raining, but the show has to go on. Our guide picked us up and we headed to the Great Wall. Despite the rain, the wall was crowded with people. There was a ribbon of umbrellas moving up and down the long path of stairs. The rain did let up by the time we climbed up to one of the towers and the view was amazing. We covered a lot of ground in our short time in Beijing: the Ming Tomb, Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Beijing Zoo, and Temple of Heaven. More to come for I am writing this in Xian - Kathy
