View from the hotel room. It's not rainy - that's haze - otherwise known as pollution. Luckily for us, most of it burned off during the day.
Boats on the lake at Beihai Park. Oh, did I mention that a speed boat was also racing around? Safety standards seemed to be a little lax.
Jingshan Park. Completely worth the climb to the top - it's a great vantage point to see the Forbidden City.
Much like this. It was hazy, so this isn't the best picture but it is really remarkable.
I loved this. All through the park (this is Jingshan) people were dancing, singing and really just enjoying a beautiful Saturday.
The Great Wall. It really is great - it's just massive. Even with that, Mr. Wang (our seemingly 12-year old driver) couldn't seem to locate it. We did choose to go to Mutianyu (it's a bit further than Badaling which is the closest spot to see the wall outside of Beijing) but still - it's fairly easy to spot.
Proof. I was here too.
Imperial Garden inside the Forbidden City. This might have been one of my favorite spots - really an amazing place.
Trust me, I have dozens more, but I don't want to bore. So I'll stop there and just make you look at them when I get back to the states.
For now, back to sunny Mongolia.
