We had a really great day!!! We went sightseeing, and getting to know other couples who are adopting from Holt. Today we went to The Summer Palace and The Forbidden City. It was freezing today. We are from sunny California, so to us it was freezing. The Summer Palace was beautiful. They dug this lake and it was not only beautiful but huge. I can not imagine how they actually dug a lake by hand that is incredible. The Summer Palace was where the empress lived for the summer. I could spend a few summers there:).
We went to this family style restaurant and had a wonderful lunch. I did not expect to like the food in China so much, but we have loved it so far. The most hilarious thing about the restaurant was the restroom . The sinks were red butts sticking out(yes you read that right). You had to lean over to wash your hands. We all thought it was hilarious. I made it today without using a squatty potty. I was very excited.:)
The forbidden city was incredible. We could not get over the size of it. It just kept going and going. Their history is very rich, and I am fascinated with it.
A lot of people have been complaining about there beds. I will admit they are very hard but I almost like it. We slept really well but were awake at 3am in the morning. We are doing well today, as far as jet lag. Although, Tom is now asleep taking a nap. We are going to see the acrobat show tonight and then off to the great wall tomorrow.
Oh Melanie by the way Happy Birthday!!!
