weather was great! A little chilly, but bearable. As the group gathered in the airport we met Frank, our tour guide. What a great guy! Frank speaks English very well and is very knowega
ble about Beijing. After we checked into our beautiful hotel, Grand Hotel Beijing, the group took a stroll down to one of the most popular shopping areas in Beijing. The lights of the shopping area are very spectacular; big screen billboards and flashing lights of all colors. As we walked the wind was blowing the cold air in our faces and it was a struggle to stay warm.
Then we came upon the Night Market, a whole block of food vendors with anything you could imagine to eat! There was squid, star fish, sea horse, lamb penis, centipede, etc. I could go on and on about the food they were selling.
None of it looked very appetizing, but I will try some, just not that night I didn't. It was time to return to the hotel, I was exhausted and achey.
Second day in Beijing, we visited the Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, and The Great Wall. I will continue later about our second day in Beijing....
