Visits to Various Attractions

Yesterday, we visited two schools; one public school and very elite, the other a private, poor migrant student school. Today, we visited Beijing University and listened to a professor. After eating lunch at the university, we headed for the Pearl Market. Later, we visited the Hutton area, which is a site approximately 300 years old; pedalcyclists took us to the Hutton village. The roads are too narrow for cars and buses. We ate in the home of an artist. The home was very primitive but the food was fabulous. We walked to the Opera House Market. There were so many vendors selling roasted pigeons, snakes, grasshoppers, seahorses and other non-appetizing food to Americans. It was a good day. Tomorrow, we are traveling to the Great Wall.
