Exploring Beijing

We had adventure this morning!  We left our hotel after breakfast, and walked to the subway!  It really wasn't difficult to purchase tickets or figure out where to go.  We rode Line 1 for just three stops, the walked to meet some friends of my parents.  We had a great time meeting new people, both American and Chinese.  After a visit, a dozen of us went out to lunch at a local restaurant.  We tried squirrel fish!  It was served with a very unique presentation!  As one person described it; "the fish is turned inside out, cut in squares while still attached to the skin, and cooked that way."  It is served with a special sauce, and is delicious!  I think we had enough food for 2 dozen people at least!  After eating we walked back to the subway, heading back to the hotel. 

We checked out of the hotel at 2pm, and met our guide for the trip to the airport.  Off to Nanjing, and closer to Emmett!  We checked in to a very fancy hotel!  We'll have to add some photos of the lobby.  Amazing!  It's now Monday am, and we meet Emmett later today!
