Tuesday Kathy and I had a full afternoon and evening full of events..... first we taxi-ed to the Lama Temple, which honestly I should have done some reading about. I wasn't that impressed simply because I didn't k now the significance of everything I was looking at. People were praying and burning incense everywhere so it was interesting to watch. Then we headed to the Olympic Venues to get an afternoon glimpse of where all the events took place in August. WE did not go into any of the venues, but just seeing their majesty up close was very impressive. We decided to eat at TGI Fridays----a little American Food to satisfy the old pregnant woman. Then we headed off to see the infamous Chinese Acrobats. It was a great show-very entertaining. We were planning on taking Kieran to see it with us---and he would have LOVED it, but he got in a little bit of trouble at school and part of his consequence was that he couldn't go to see the show with us. It was amazing the strength and flexibility of the performers! After an entertaining performance, we took on the chore of trying to catch a taxi in a business district when everyone was getting off of work....quite interesting! But eventually we caught a cab and headed home:) The other pictures included here are a picture of a 7-star hotel next to the Olympic Venues and a picture of Riley on that morning when Kathy rode through the village with him on the way to school.
