This was our first night at Tsinghua University. They were very excited for our visit!
A video from about halfway up the Great Wall.
Jess and I: About to pass out, but so happy that we made it to one end of the Great Wall!
Mongolian Hot Pot! I can't wait to find one at home!
This is the famous Tian Nan Men Square. It was beautiful, but overly packed. The blurryness in the background is not the picture...that is the smog of Beijing! No wonder my lungs hurt!
This is the majority of our trip group outside the Temple of Heaven. (I am on the far right)
Notice: 14 boys, 50 girls. This is reminiscent of all of Semester at Sea.
We stopped on the side of the highway to get a look at the site for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
The stadium is called "The Bird's Nest" and isn't completely finsihed, but getting there.
Note my snazzy Olympics shirt, don't mind that the far right ring is supposed to be red, not white. I guess thats what you get when you pay $2 for a shirt.
This is the view of The Summer Palace from our paddle boat. The smog also affected our view of this.
