Victoria's take on Beijing touring

April 15, 2012

This has been a wonderful trip.  BUT David, our guide, is keeping us really busy and walking our legs off.  Yesterday we walked between 4 and 5 miles and were busy from 6:45AM until 10PM at night!  Bruce went out and got a pizza and we just ate and dropped into bed. Today we go to the Great Wall, the tombs, then later to a big Kung Fu show.  We won't get back to the hotel until nearly 10PM.  

Tomorrow we leave Beijing and go to the airport and finally to board our riverboat.  We may not have a lot of time to write on Zeke's China Blog until tomorrow night and then we are unsure about our internet access on the boat.  For the next day or so, don't worry if we don't write a lot.  It is just because we don't have enough time.  

BTW, Zeke has been absolutely PERFECT!  He is a little trooper.  Never complains.  Is always polite.   

Also, here the people from outside of the big city don't see foreigners often.  They think Zeke's red hair and blue eyes are beautiful and they want to take a picture with him. Often in stores and on the street they touch his hair.  We will talk about this in the next blog.  He is very sweet and polite letting them touch him and pose for photos with them.  They say, "You are beautiful." Very sweet.

Love, Noni
