Our last couple of days in China were spent in Beijing taking in the famous sights. The first thing we realized about Beijing is that it is really, really big. Seems to be the theme here. So we took some really long walks and a long bus ride too. The bus ride brought us out to the Ming Tombs, where I got to compare my dental work with that of the stone carved boar guarding the raised dias at the gate. Debbie, of course, is far more chic posing on the elephant stool of the carved patio furniture.
Our walk brought us to the famous Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Both of these are of course big. The Olympic torch was scheduled to arrive the day after we were there, so there were many people setting up for the ceremony, and many people wandering around gawking, like us. And of course Chairman Mao watches over everyone.
