A day of touring Beijing

Today we met our guide in the lobby at 9 am and went to tour Tian'an men Square, the Forbidden City, ate lunch at the Royal Restaurant, went to the Silk Factory and ended with a tour on a rickshaw around Hutong. We did not arrive back at the hotel until around 5:30. It was a long, hot day but we had a good time. One day closer to meeting Lily. We have been skyping with the kids which has been nice to see their faces each day. We will get up early in the morning for our next day of tours...meeting in the lobby at a bright and early 8 am....
