Day (Tianjin) | |
|
Wednesday, June 25: Sunny
this morning in Tianjin, but we left for Beijing, and on the way the sun gave
way to haze and then rain. We arrived in Beijing at around noon, and went to the
Temple of Heaven. Lunch followed, then a check-in at the hotel, and finally shopping
in the downtown Beijing shopping area. Dinner at the hotel, and skits and
awards presented by each of the buses. Tomorrow most of us leave for the airport
at 8 AM ... in 24 hours or so we will be home. |
