Our first pics from Beijing.... If you look closely, you can see the Olympic torch in the Birdsnest.
The entire area is fenced off. Only ticket holders can enter (our tickets begin tomorrow). Outside the fence, tons of people, like us, are walking around, admiring the buildings, and taking photos. There are a lot of Chinese guys trying to sell tickets.... We aren't sure if they are real or fake. Surprisingly, few official vendors... Just some random people selling tshirts and Chinese flags.
The buildings are as amazing in person as they appear on TV.
More to come. Tomorrow from the inside!!
By the way, I figured out how to post to the blog directly from my phone. Pretty cool!

I am oh-so-jealous of you guys!!!!! These pictures are really great! I have been cracked out on the Olympics this year - who knew Direct TV had over 6 channels of Olympic madness?! Looking forward to hearing (and seeing) about your trip!
