Beijing tour day 2

 This is from Jeff....he's exhausted, but was gracious enough to his wife to to give me some bullet points from his day.  

Fueling up!

 
First, the Cloisonné Factory
Great Wall






This is the lady they sat next to on the airplane from Chicago!  Random for sure!









Jade factory and then lunch



The Bird's Next which will also be used for the 2022 Olympics


 
Then split off group and went to hotel by taxi.  Then Joel called an uber driver that took us to meet them at the Hot Pot restaurant “Man Fu Lou Restaurant”  after hot pot went to a micro brewer called Jing-A.  Cab back to hotel.  Now exhausted.



good night Jeff OUT

So beautifully organic.

We can’t wait to swim in it….maybe tomorrow.  We found a bakery that sells the cutest cakes in the shape of cars or cartoon characters.  We will probably buy one for Miley, because tomorrow is her birthday.  We were mainly trying to waist time… When it was finally time, our guide told one family member come outside and get your new child.  Well that wasn’t going to happen, Jeff and I both went with him….and….we….waited….again!  It was probably one a couple of minutes, but suddenly we saw three people with three babies walking toward th
