Sunday morning we attended a bi-lingual church service at the Beijing International Christian Fellowship. And then off to guess what ... more Chinese food. The particular restaurant was chosen primarily due to it's proximity to the Pearl Factory and the Summer Palace as those where also on the schedule for the day.
So once completed with lunch we toured the Pearl Factory before heading on to the Summer Palace.
Everyone is pretty tired of walking around by now so we didn't really do much but the minimum walk through the Palace.
While in the Palace we saw several demonstrations of the young taking advantage of the split pants. Of course much to the surprise of all of us and the toddlers traveling in the group. Guess that will take some explaining.
Outside the Palace as we find in many parts of the city are street vendors trying to sell you things like a 3 dollar Rolex or as in the picture to the left a cooked sweet potato. These guys had 3 wheeled bicycles rigged with a cook stove made from a barrel and they would be "peddling" cooked sweet potatoes. They smelled good but didn't take him up on his offer.
We wrapped up the day bowling a couple of games in the hotel's bowling alley.
We're pretty worn out from all the walking and we have the Great Wall to visit tomorrow morning so this will be it for the blog today.
