Beijing Tour

Today started out very nicely by getting to meet a lot of the AWAA families. Everyone went to breakfast together and it was nice seeing other Americans. We went to Tianemen Square and the Forbidden City today. Then we went to a pearl factory and the Summer Palace. Today is the dragon boat festival and we rode a dragon boat. We also went to a silk factory where they showed us the process of making silk from the cocoons.
It was a very long and hot day. We are glad to be back in the room to rest. We had a little trouble sleeping last night but tonight should not be a problem.
