the visit: Tiananmen and Forbidden City

Scott's parents agreed to watch Eli and Dana and take them swimming while my mom, Hannah, Scott and I did a rush job of seeing Tiananmen Square. So many people, and I couldn't believe how long the queue to see Chairman Mao's body there was.


Here was another neat dragon on a mural as we entered the Forbidden City which is quite near to Tiananmen Square.

And a picture of Scott and I as we were leaving. We had to hurry so that we could check out of the hotel on time, and me stopping to feed Hannah meant that we really couldn't do justice to even the few parts we saw in the Forbidden City.

I guess it just means we will have to go again sometime, that's all, right mom?.
