Beijing Zoo

Today is Wednesday and is a day free for us. We actually slept in until 5:00 this morning!!!!! We have been waking at 4:00 am I guess to the effects of jet lag. We have been going to bed by 8:00 so we do get our 8 hours.

We met our guide in the hotel lobby at 10:00 am and left for the Beijing Zoo. I can believe the the whole outing, tickets to the zoo for 3 adults and 1 child, cab fare to the zoo and cab fare back to the hotel, only cost us $15 US. Some things here are incredibly cheap and others seem very expensive. For example a tour to the Great Wall costs $200 US.

Ethan had his first crying fit today. He fell asleep in his stroller at the last of the zoo and continued to sleep for the 15 minute cab ride back to the hotel. When we got back to the room, I began to undress him to change his diaper and put him down for the remainder of his nap and he wasn't happy about it at all. It was a small meltdown due to him being so tired. He cried for a few moments and then fell right back to sleep.
