We marched through the hot stone streets of the Forbidden city (No trees! Archers can hide behind trees) and the Summer Palace (very pretty) to the tune of, "sticky rice everyone". Both historical sites were very hot and crowded. At the end of our tour of the Summer Palace we found a little shop and gorged on popsicles, a new discovery James S. shared with us (frozen lemonade chunks), and icy bottles of water. Even though most of us thought the summer palace was very beautiful, we decided we'd rather visit it in October to avoid the 100+ degree heat. As you can see below, we rode across the lake in a very interesting boat.
