After the hutong rickshaw tour and tea ceremony, we boarded the bus for the hour trip to the Beijing Airport.
Once there, we had lunch at a local restaurant. Again, a big multi-course offering of Chinese food. Served on a "lazy-Susan" to share with our fellow travelers. This was typical of many of the other lunches and dinners. So much food offered to us, and no way for us to finish all of it. Of course there were leftovers.
Finally, the highlight of the day was the terra cotta warriors.
This may be the last post for quite awhile. There are simply too many things to see and do during the day, and the computer is the last thing we want to deal with. So...see you later, after our additional stops in China, Cambodia, Thailand, and Dubai. Next posts will come from Switzerland! (As I type this midway thru our Switzerland journey!)

| Don't get fooled; they were discovered in pieces, and meticulously reassembled. There are literally thousands left to unbury. |
