Beijing

We had a fabulous time in Beijing. The first day we went to the silk market and several other stores and then on to the acrobats. The acrobats were amazing! The next day we went to the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and Tiananmen Square. Tiananmen Square was closed for the Peoples Congress Meeting but we did get to walk the length of it. This morning we flew off to Hefei bright and early. The airport was interesting. Yesterday was the first day of the no liquids rule in China. It was mass pandemonium trying to go through security. We made it to our plane with no time to spare. But, because of the security delays, they held the flight and we were actually some of the first people to board. Tomorrow is the big day when Miss Annie arrives. We will post tomorrow evening. Here are some photos of our time in Beijing.
