on Saturday! We started out the day skyping with family and friends in the
morning. After that, the kids swam in the very large hotel pool. Then we headed
to the street market where they sell various creatures on a stick! As you can
tell from the pictures, it was interesting. They had snakes, scorpions, ostrich
meat, centipedes, starfish, octopus, and other various creatures. The best part
was seeing people buy these items and munch on them! The kids did get
strawberries on a stick covered in a crunchy sugary coating.
After that, we had really good Chinese food for dinner.
It is really interesting because the back of our hotel faces a school with a big
school yard. It is all windows on the side facing us and we could see all the
classrooms filling up with cute little kids in uniforms. We got to see them do
their morning exercises outside, then they did a very long pledge. We will post
pics of the school later. Today we're finally heading to Tian'anmen square and
the Forbidden City. It's just a few blocks from our hotel.
