We made it another day

Good evening from Beijing. Well,another full day of touring. We went to the Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City today. We learned a lot of Chinese History. We also seen alot if you know what I mean. I will never say I wish I had anything again. It is now 6:30 Sat. evening and guess what Robin is doing? Eating a Can of pringles. I brought some instant Chicken Noodle soup and I think I will fix that tonight. We have a hot pot in our room that heats water. While touring I was introduced to the squaty potty. The first time I went into the stall I just stood there and wondered do I stand or do I squat. I just wonder how the really old women do this. There are no had rails to help you back up so you better be pretty sure footed.(Also no toilet paper) Lucky I had my travling TP with me. Ha! Let me explain the traffic a little bit. It's like this, my kids have always said that I drive a 2000 lb. weapon. Well, I think that I could help the population problem here in China. Just put me behind the wheel of a car and I could do some serious damage. There are millions of people all in a hurry going I don't know where. The bicycle's are everywhere,and they are real jems to. A person running a bicycle repair shop must be rich over here. We laughed today because you might see 100 bicycle's parked together and none of them worth a dollar but, they all have plastic bags on the seats protecting them. We leave in the morning at 7:00 o'clock for the airport to fly to Urumqi. I have been reading everyone's e-mails and we really enjoy them. It's hard to work the internet over here so I am lucky to post on this. Kids don't worry about us we are doing fine. We will have your little sister Sunday. Tell Brady, Garrett, Nickell, and Sydney we love them and I am ready to come home already. If they have Internet in Urumqi I will post sometime tomorrow.
Good Night
