After the Great Wall, we went to lunch and then drove to see the Olympic Stadium from the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing. After so much climbing and walking, Abby was very tired (not to mention the travel time and lack of sleep). She fell asleep on the bus on the way to the stadium. So we had to wake her and she was not up to walking around. Plus, I forgot to get her coat before we got off the bus and it was windy and cold. Flat Panda was, once again, too cold to get out of the bag for photos.
The "Bird's Nest" as it was called during the games.
Even the walkway lights were in the same design.
We got to go inside the stadium. It was very big inside. The track and the field were covered, so we did not get to run a lap. Oh, well. We already had our exercise for the day at the Great Wall. As with all the other tourist spots we visited, there were TONS of people there taking pictures and taking pride in their nation's history and culture.
This is a sign that has the Olympic Mascots for Beijing.
Once outside the stadium, I zipped Abby up in my coat to help keep her warm. That made her happy!
