We went on a bullet train on a trip from Shanghai to Beijing. It took only 5 hours!

| I wasn't awake for this, but we went to see a concert at the Beijing Conservatory of Music. It was a santoor player and tabla player. |
 |
| We went on a tour to the Great Wall, and on the way, we saw the CCTV company building. |
 |
| Here's another big building in Beijing |
 |
| This is mommy snoozin' and me sitting up on the bus tour to the Great Wall. I think it's pretty cool that mommy is sleeping. |
 |
| This is the platform of the bottom of the very famous Great Wall. I climbed up to the very top until we got to the part where the public was not allowed. In our tour group, I was the first one on top of the wall. People caught up to me, but I was still the first. |
 |
| Daddy one of the passageways up to the top of the wall. |

This is a long story....my dad asked a Chinese man to have his picture taken with him, which is not in the blog. Then I got my picture taken with the guy. And this is embarrassing, but a group of girls saw us and wanted to be in the picture, too, so this is the group of girls, the Chinese man, and me.
This is me holding another bubblegum flavored Chinese Popsicle and daddy's orange cream Popsicle. I'm holding it in an "X" which it the symbol for the Chinese number 10.

This is me on top of the big steep bunkbed on the train back to
Shanghai. We took an overnight train. Each person on the train got their
own pair of slippers, blankets, sheets, and poop filled pillows. Well,
not human poop, but silk worm poop which is very expensive. We also each
had our own tv screen and remote and reading light, and a compartment
door that locks. It was awesome!
