Well, she picked us up and off we went!
First stop- Tianammen Square where we proceeded to spend a few hours walking through each courtyard and into the Forbidden City! Red Flags blowing in the wind, clear skies and No pollution.
We learned about the Yin and Yang of it all . The Emperor's lucky number 9 and that there were over 3,000 concubines living in the Forbidden City from the ages of 12-17.
On to the check out the old hood (hutong style) we hopped into rickshaws and held on for dear life!
The tour through this area by a beautiful lake was a dream-although the whole day seemed to be magical.
Not sure if it's the jet lag or just China?
We jumped off the rickshaws and popped into a home where they offered us tea and showed us their wares?
They were so lovely and warm and they Loved Billy!
Everyone here is so nice and so warm.
After driving home by car through the friday evening traffic, we dropped off the kids and hit the Foot Massage Palor that Robert loved so much. Sitiing side by side in recling chairs I never new feet could feel this good. I think it worth coming here just for the foot massage.
After our day I have to say the Ms. Wrong turned out to be so RIght!
