2009-05-20 Day 6 - Beijing trade show, walking and Peking Duck 026

Peking Duck is excellent. We all went out to a restaurant in a mall in Beijing and had some Peking Duck. Sarah Kay even tried the duck head... MMMMmmmm. Earlier in the day we went to a security trade show. Lots of equipment for police, air flight security, small cameras in belts/purses/button cams, etc. It was fun. Although it was mostly communication via sign language. After that I spent the day walking around the area near the hotel and people watched. I did a little more shopping and also took a taxi to Tienanmen Square. The exciting part of the day was being escorted about 5 blocks by two security guards to get to the taxi area. I wish I could have had a picture but they don't like their pictures taken. I did see a guy on the side walk with a camera taking our pic. Maybe I can find it on line some day. Today we travel to Xian. We will be leaving for the airport in about 30 minutes. We hope to arrive at the hotel around 4pm. I think I will need to check my suitcase this time as I've accumulated a few things in Beijing.
