Thursday morning in Beijing

Carol here. We just had a yummy breakfast buffet at our hotel-you know me and food! And the coffee is excellent.

We slept about 9 hours on our firmer than American beds, and we slept well. Yesterday when we arrived we spent the afternoon walking inside and outside the upscale mall nearby -filled with young people- and ate dinner at a Taiwanese fast food place in the mall. Chris's chopsticks skills are climbing the steep learning curve.

Today we are off to the Great Wall and Summer Palace. Very smoggy here in Beijing. I can see about 4 blocks away and then nothing. We expect to post some pictures tonight.

What did they serve on the breakfast buffet? Traditional Chinese food or does it def. have a Western touch to it? And what is 'Taiwanese fast food' anyway? Just things I thought about while reading your post. I hope you're enjoying yourselves!
