Today was very busy! We had a breifing on China in general and Guiyang where the conference will be held. There are 200 hundred American Educators here for the conference. It is amazing!
After the briefing, we were on the bus for lunch at a Friendship Government Shopping area. On the way we saw the Bird's Nest Olympic Stadium, the Tennis venue and for my swimmers the Swimming Cube, Phelp's land!!
We moved on to the Great Wall! Wow!!!! What a climb! The staires are very uneven and hard to climb. Just ask Mrs. Sargent-Wells. She has been there! I never knew it would be such a climb. I did survive getting to the top and back down! I had Bambi legs after my climb! It was easier than climbing Ayer's Rock( Ularue) in Australia.
Back on the bus to Dinner and Tian'anmen Square! wow! The Square and Forbidden Palace were amazing.
Dinner was fun it was peking duck with scorpions. Yes, I tried the scorpions. They are very crispy and don't have much flavor! I write in more deteil later. We leave tomorrow for Guiyang. The city is very small and is excited we are coming there. They have all kinds of gifts , dancing, programs and students waiting to see us. This is an area has had very few Weaterners as visitors.
