Beijing 2010 – Post 1

Sept 13 – Beijing, China

 

Off to an early start on a one day tour of the Ming Tombs and the Great Wall. Absolutely fascinating stuff with facts like the great wall was built in 221 B.C. and is 8600 km (5700 miles) long. Very warm with temps in high 30′s.

 

 

Outside the Ming Tomb (about 45km from Beijing)

 

 

I like this guy – bit of a resemblance!

 

 

On the great wall with the rest of the world!!

 

 

The “Bird’s nest” – opening stadium for the Beijing Games (Aqua Cube on right)

 

 

My “funny” for the day – China Town in Beijing, China!!
