Today we went to the drum tower and the bell tower. They are both over 500 years old. These were used so people could know the time of day. We had to climb 60 steps straight up to get to the top of drum tower and 72 steps for the bell tower. After that we took a rickshaw through some Hutongs. Hutongs are really old houses with small alleys. We saw the house where Mao used to live. He used to be the leader of China. Tonight we will have dinner with Nelson and tomorrow we will go to the Great Wall.
Peiton and Jim
