Thursday May 13th -- The Summer Palace.

Today we started the day by visiting the Summer Palace.  That is the Emporor's vacation home.  It was very big.  There were a whole bunch of boats in the water, and you could see fish in the water.  The palace grounds cover over 600 acres!  I think the best thing about the Summer Palace was that we got to go on a boat ride in a "Dragon Boat".

 

On the way to the Summer Palace, we drove by The Birds Nest (the Olympic Stadium for the 2008 Summer Olympics). 

 

After the Summer Palace, we came back to the hotel and swam.
