Day One : Part 2

After the tea shop, Rocky took us to a popular local restuarant.

The food was HOT!!!! But it was definitely good! However, since we had all been so jet-lagged the night before I had forgotten to charge my camera. In revenge it decided to stop working. Luckily, Dad's and Jacob's cameras were still working.

You'll notice that instead of cups of water we have bottled water. Because it's so polluted over there, you can't drink water from the tap safely.

These are 'meatballs', but we never found out what kind of meat was in them.

After lunch,  the Forbidden City!!!!!!!

It was crowded.

Like, I can't move without touching people crowded.

People who were having their kids stand by us to take pictures crowded.

It was also really cold. And since we hadn't been prepared for 50/60s degree weather, Lauren was pretty much frozen. So our guide, Rocky, gave her his vest.
