Forbidden City/Tienanmen Square 11/16/2008

Today we went to the Forbidden City and Tienanmen Square. It was very cool, and VERY big. It took us about 2-1/2 hours to walk from one end of the Forbidden City to another. By the time we got to the end, all of the buildings started to look the same. I got some good pictures, but have not uploaded them to my computer yet. I am in "Ready to go home mode!!!" and have not uploaded the pictures yet. After walking through Tienanmen Square we walked through "Old Beijing" it was cool also. It had be restored for the Olympics. The buildings are very old, but the outside had been re-done to look old like they used to. Tomorrow is going to be a relaxed day. Don't have anything planned except to explore the Olympic Village a little more around our hotel.
