One World One Dream Happy Workers

Holiday Beijing Day 2
Monday, July 14 We had a great Chinese breakfast at our B&B. We took took care of some travel business and found a contact to buy our plane tickets from Xi’an to Guilin through our B&B host and also bought our train tickets to Datong.

Jeannette made it!
Saturday, July 12, 2008 We are together again after a month apart. We are checked in to our lovely bed and breakfast, the Mao’er B&B, in the Mao’er hutong.

And that link about the Mao’er hutong is very informative about hutongs, hutonging, and specifically about our hutong. We walked around our neighborhood, saw the Bell and Drum towers, walked around Houhai and are now sitting down to dinner and cold beers. A couple more pictures follow the jump. Continue reading →
