We ventured out to see the Olympic Bird's Nest where the track and field events were held and to the Water Cube where the swimming was for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. We were able to go inside of the Bird's Nest and it was really great. We then found a mall that had upscale stores and a department store. We were very tired and trying to get back to the hotel and noone could tell us how far it was. The taxi drivers were trying to charge too much for the taxi ride. I was wondering if we would ever find our way back. A nice taxi driver approached us and gave us a fair price to get back. We made it back just in time to find Douglas, Erica and Katie checking into the hotel. We all went out to dinner tonight. We are tired and ready for a good night's sleep. Here are some pictures from our day.
We also walked around this area that was an outdoor market. It was very crowded and we saw all the different creatures they have that you can eat on a stick. We saw scorpions on a stick and they were still moving. I guess if you wanted to eat one, they would cook it for you but who knows.
That is it for today! Off to bed, we are exhausted.
