Even though we only had a few days in Beijing, we covered a lot of ground and had a great time! We loved the great wall, the hutongs (really cool, tiny neighborhoods hidden in alleways throughout the city), the 798 art district, and THE FOOD. Here are some pics and highlights:

We just got into Ulaan Baatar and Mongolia is rad. The culture and history here is pretty amazing. Just had some Mongolian beef and a few Chinggis beers. We are hoppin a small plane tomorrow to the South Gobi Desert and will be staying in gers (fancy yurts) for the next week both in the Gobi and a few national parks. Here we go!
