Wow are we tired...

Our day started with a drive by of the Olympic Village... it's the Bird's Nest!

Our next stop was the Jade Museum... right after we snapped this picture of a huge carving from a single piece of jade, we realized it had a sign saying 'do not take pictures of this'... oops....

A 'squatty potty' in the Jade Museum... probably another place you shouldn't be taking pictures... but there was no sign saying not to...

The GREAT WALL! It is aptly named.


Looking down over what we'd just climbed...



And then we stopped for lunch... anyone up for sweet and sour fish? Yeah, we didn't think so... only a 7 year old girl at our table was brave enough to try it, and she thought it was good...


And then we visited the Summer Palace... ironically named considering how cold it was....brrrrr

Some of the detailed work at the Summer Palace...
