Day 4: The Hutongs and the Fobidden City



We had a great day of walking and learning about the hutongs of beijing and about the forbidden city.  Mia did a great job, and walked all but the last block back to the bus.  Anyone who has been here knows the tour of the forbidden city is atleast a few miles, plus your working your way throught the millions of people who are also walking along.  As hasn't been the case here in Beijing, today turned out to be a sunny day.  So sunny, that I got fried.  Poor Leah's first time seeing me, I will glow like the flag of China. 
 
Tomorrow, we leave at 5:30AM for the airport.  19 families in all, will then board their planes to meet their children in whatever province they may be from.  In our group there will be 7 familes traveling to Nanchang.  We will receive Leah around 12:30PM ( that China's time).  Attached are a few of the photos from our day today.
