Touring in Beijing...

Hi all,
Today we toured Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace.  Tiananmen Square is right next to the Forbidden City, so we spent the day walking.  It was quite impressive.  Lots of people strolled around with umbrellas to keep the sun off of them.  It was so hot that Amy also used an umbrella.  We also visited a pearl shop and silk factory store.  The people are very friendly and kind hearted.  We had a traditional Chinese lunch and dinner which was all very good. 
Pictures will be coming soon. 
We're off to church this morning and then will visit the Great Wall this afternoon. 
We are enjoying every moment!
