Saturday in Beijing

Saturday in Beijing. We went to the Great Wall today. We ended up
at Baoding; witch is not as nice as where we went last time. It was
easier to access but the crowds were unbelievable. It was much more
commercial and not as nice. We were not able to get nearly as good
of pictures, but to be fair it was hazy enough that our pictures
would not have been great anywhere. We tried to go swimming, but
were told no swimming without renting a swim cap for 50 Yuan each
that is $13 um I am so not paying $13 to use the hotel pool. I
only pay $3.50 to swim t home, and it should be free in a hotel.
Baby bug was so disappointed! Swimming was one of the things she had
most looked forward to. Hopefully Kunming will have a swimming
pool. We met up with my friend G for dinner again. We went to
pizza hut, and she treated us. Baby Bug LOVES hanging with her girls.
Dad is working on our bags trying to get them each under the 44lb
weight limit. Baby Bug is watching Berenstein Bears, and I am hoping
to get to bed before midnight. LOL. We will be glad to get to a new
hotel as we have not been overly impressed with this one. We have
wished we were at the same hotel we stayed at last time. We fly out
tomorrow at 11:35 so we will leave here at 9:30 am. Next time you
hear from us it will be from Kunming. We love you all,
