北京2

Today - 30043 steps (21.0km)

用过早餐之後咱们俩就乘地铁去故宫，两年前咱们没去那儿观光， 那时觉得有点可惜。

咱们付了门票一人120元，进去兜个大圈，觉得这可没啥看斗，浪费时间金钱。大殿里边咱们都不可进去看，看个啥呀？

This urn is one of many. It was used to store water for use in the event of fire. In other words for fire fighting.

This display looks like a metallic item but in fact is wood.

The Emperor used the "pagoda" on top of this man-made rock hill to 赏月。

So much for the visit to the Forbidden City. 我们搭公交离开故宫往王付井去吃饭和逛书店，我买了本以客家文化有关的书给爸爸; 希望他会喜欢。

Today's itinerary is a little relaxing as we are not rushing. The pace allows us to settle in and also find our feet in this city of nearly 30 million people.

The 贵州菜 is no question the highlight of the day where we relax over friendship and drinks and enjoying the beautiful food and in the company of each other. That seems like a fitting description of what travel should be in my books.
