Greenway's Nomadic Ways

Today we decided to do a walking tour from the lonley planet book. We headed out to the tourist info office to check on another tour. On the way there we stumbled uppon a very cool kite shop. Pick out some cool kites to buy but were low on cash so we continue on our way with a plan return. We get to the tourist office to discover that there is no such tour to wherever want to go and to go there by train would take 2 days so decide not to go. We notice on the map were at one of the walking tours so decide to do that one. Walk along by a nice lake lined with restauraunts, at one point the path takes out onto a street where we wander into a tea shop and spend a whole tasting tea. Walk out 45 miniutes later with cool tea cups, tea, and verious other dodads. Very meet experience. Continue on and find a very meet shopping street where we purchase many great items, thank you mr visa. We finaly get to the Drum Tower to find it closed for renovation so we head over to the bell tower. We climb some very steep stairs to see a masive bell which was the main way for the people of the early empires to know what time it was. It’s time for business, taxi to bank, taxi back to grocery store to get supplies for trip to old part of great wall then relax at a roof top bar for a few beers. We head ban to hotel then to an evening at the national acrobatics show. This was an incredible experiance. If your ever in Bejing this is a must see. I’ll write more about this later.
