Motorcycle tour day...

So after visiting Elsie, we moved hotels, to the Novatel in downtown Beijing, it is a much more western style hotel, very nice.  At 2, our motorcycle tour picked us up.  Our guide was from Holland, riding a 50s style bike with a side car, really cool.

We visited the central business district where we saw the "pants" building (in photo) beside it was a big burned out building that was hit by a rocket during the chinese new year... very interesting contrast.  See the window washing crew on the pants building?

Then went through many Hutongs (old single story neighborhoods) and around Tieneman Square and to a few parks.  Just a great tour.  Wild ride, absolutely no regard for traffic law!

After the tour, we went to the night market, I will post some crazy pics of that.
