Beijing in 2 days, and 24 miles

I am in Beijing enjoying the sites. We have seen and done so much. We have averaged about eight miles a day of walking and standing. (We have given ourselves miles for standing!) Yesterday we went to the Great Wall and then spent time walking around the Silk Market looking for fun souvenirs. We also have been to the Temple of Heaven, Tiananmen Square, The Summer Palace, and Forbidden City. It has been an action-packed couple of days.

Today we took a break from sightseeing and gave our tired feet a nice treat to a massage. It was maybe the best hour of my life. We are flying tonight to a city in the south of China that has beautiful mountains. I am so thankful to be here and see all the sights. It is so nice having my friend Megan, not only to spend time with her, but she knows everything so well.
