Forbidden City and Great Wall Adventure

Our day of site seeing started early after meeting and sharing stories with the other parents in our group. Our first stop was Tenneman Square, where we learned all we needed to know about Chairman Mao! We then made our way to the Forbidden City. The history of the Forbidden City dates back to 1404. It took us almost that amount of time to traverse it. One interesting emperor who goes by the name of the Dragon Lady killed her son so that she could remain in power. Hillary Clinton has nothing on this lady. After all that fun we made our way over to the Great Wall of China. After a jog up the wall and back we were exhausted. More to come later

    Hi John & Deb,
    You guys made it to the Great Wall before I did. Loved your pictures. Tino looks like he is having a great time and enjoying himself!
    Can't wait to see you guys when you get back! Looks like Tino doesn't have any problems adapting.

    Luv,
    MJ & Scott
