Today was a free day while we awaited the arrival of the rest of the group.
It was a fairly relaxing settling in kinda day.

For lunch today, we had Pizza Hut, and it was a full meal for two with drinks for only about 9 US dollars. What a difference in price between Pizza Hut in the states and Pizza Hut here in China! They also have KFC everywhere! We probably will give that a try sometime during the trip!

Later today, we visited Beijing’s version of Wal-Mart called “Carrefour”, less than a block from our hotel, and picked up some essentials. This place is huge! It has two stories with food and other groceries downstairs, and everything else you can imagine upstairs. One of the things we picked up was a pair of matching sock hats! It is windy and a bit cold! We thought these might come in handy, and they look pretty cool too! 🙂

Anyway, enjoy the pics from this fairly slow day! See ya tomorrow!

Lunch at Nice Pizza Hut in Beijing! This place looks a lot nicer than the one in America, and it was alot cheaper too!:
