The Great Rong!

Our day began with at 3am with a call from Weber! Back to sleep and then another one at 5:30pm!
Sweet.
A giant buffet breakfast around 6:30am where I found Billy starving to death because he slept through yet another dinner and in the middle of the night wanted to order room service but Sophie said he wasn't allowed to-
In the meantime Robert was MIA in the hotel in his Shorts and bare-feet looking for a converter????
Somehow we pulled out of here at around 9:30 am and headed to the Great Wall!
Bumper to Bumper we made it there in no time! A little over 2 hours? Oh Ms Rong we love you!
On the way we did see the Olympic buildings and stadiums! Incredible architecture!

Upon arriving at the Wall Robert and Billy flew to the top.
Sophie and I made it half way- It's Steep!
Sophie just bounced her way on up. Nona made it to the first tower with Ms, Rong at her side at all times

Lunch-that was interesting. Should we have the turtle or shark? MAybe sea turtles? So many choices-Pig ear slices perhaps raw?
Well, I asked Ms. Rong for Chicken Breast and she fell on the floor and laughed her head off?
Nona ordered Ginger Soup which turned out to be a large Vat of Diarrhea?
We toasted to Dad on his Birthday and then we all burst into tears, which Ms. Rong found very confusing when she came back from paying the bill.

Off to THe Lama Temple, home of the 80 meter Buddha. THe tallest inside Buddha in the world! Truly a very special and spiritual place. Not to be missed!

Arriving back to our Hotel, we bid farewell to the Great Ms. Rong!
