June 3, 2000 Today is Saturday and we are in Beijing, China. We took a tour to the Summer Palace, a pearl shop, lunch, a pottery shop, and the Temple of Heaven. It took us over an hour to walk through the Summer Palace. I took lots of pictures. Then they took us to the pearl shop and next to it was the place they wanted us to eat. We had about eleven people sitting down at the table with us, and they put so much food down on the table to eat. They have a lazy susan, and we all share everything, none of us finished any of the dishes. After lunch we went to a pottery shop for a little over an hour. After that we went to the Temple of Heaven, and I took lots of pictures there too. It took us over an hour to walk through that. We got back to the hotel about five and ate dinner at the hotel at seven and went to bed around nine.
