We're in Beijing

The flight over was smooth (for the most part) and long!! (only took 13 hours). Flying over the North Pole was cool. I said HI to Rudolf for you! What things struck me most about the Beijing are the shear number of people in a small space. The population here is VERY dense. To house all of those people requires an enormous amount of apartment buildings and shacks.
Tomorrow we go to see the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, and a Chinese acrobat show.
BTW, we shopped for food today at the local "Wonderful" store. Quite the experience!
