We had a great day but it was way too long. We continue to meet the different families that are in our travel group and each family has their own interesting story. Everyone has been great. During our tours today we were asked to pose in pictures with some of the Chinese people that were also visiting the different areas - one young boy was in a picture with me then his aunt joined in then another lady - they smiled and laughed the whole time - then I returned the favor capturing them on video - they laughed more and waved. Another time an elderly couple asked - well they couldn't ask as neither of us understood the other - but it worked out they were very happy. Here are a couple of pictures from our travels today - the Forbidden City was very impressive but we really enjoyed the 'rickshaw' bicycle ride through Houtong - it was very interesting.
