Beijing, Day One

We started off this morning by landing in Beijing and hooking up with our guide and got checked into our hotel.  Took an hour to shower and wash off 18 hours of flight funk and headed out to meet our group at the Hutong Tour and rickshaw ride.  After that we went to the the Drum Tower and were able to catch the drum performance, it was amazing!  After that we went to a Chinese acrobat show and can I just tell you that these performers are nothing short of sub human.  What they can do with their bodies and strength is mind blowing.  Tomorrow, The Great Wall, Tienanmen Square and Forbidden City.  LOVING it here!
