Tianamen Square and Forbidden City



Today, we strolled through Tianamen and the Forbidden City. Another gorgeous day in Beijing. I put Emma in the Baby Bjorn and she slept for a good part of the 3 hours we toured. I have to admit that using a public washroom in China is an experience in itself, made that much more interesting when you try to use said washroom while wearing a sleeping baby!!lol Thomas' favourite part of the whole visit was watching security get rid of the folks selling fake watches in the square!lol There was of course no mention of 1989 in our whole tour of Tianamen Square! Tomorrow most of our group leaves. Gary wants to go back to Tianamen and go see Mao's body which we didn't get to do today...long lineups and babies don't go hand in hand!lol Thomas, Emma, Susan and I will head to a nearby park to play while he does that and Susan and I will head off to shop for a few last things tomorrow afternoon. Then, it's packing and getting ready. It's been a wonderful trip but we can't wait to be home! Let's hope Emma takes well to her 14 hour flight home!! I'm attaching a pic of Emma and one of Emma and Thomas from yesterday. Not sure if we'll be able to post tomorrow, so thanks to everyone for keeping up with us in China. :-)
