First full day in Beijing

Spent a few hours in hotel room.  Tried to sleep, but could not. So at 5:30 local time got up and read, showered and went to 79th floor for breakfast. 

I had fried veggie wanton like things, plus seafood noodles, seafood fried rice, cantaloupe and pineapple, coffee, lots of coffee, which was very good.  I also ordered eggs Benedict.  That was not very good.   Pastries were delicious. 

Right now it is very overcast.  Can't tell if it is entirely clouds, or smog too.  I can see a stadium I believe was for Olympics out the window.  

Getting ready to board a bus and drive to countryside.  An outside chance we can divert group to great wall.  That would be amazing.  Keep you posted.
