Last weekend we ventured to the Forbidden City
And I tried to come up with a poem that was somewhat witty
Saturday morning we met Katherine at 9:15
To travel to a place unlike any we’ve seen
The place was packed with umbrellas blocking from the sun
And so many Asians – like a million and one…
We waited in line for over an hour
The only thing on our minds was a cold shower
We finally got to the front of the line
Where Katherine pushed through and whined
We finally made it to the front gate
And not losing each other must have been fate
We wandered around the palace for hours
Looking at the gardens, sculptures and towers
Then continued snapping pictures and admiring
But quickly decided it was too tiring
We got lost in the maze of the palace for a while
But all we could do was laugh and smile
We were stopped by a group of middle schoolers coming at us
Asking to take pictures with us – celebrity status
We even snapped a few of our own
And were off on our way back home
Tired and hungry and walking slow
Hope you enjoy the pictures below!
Sea of "sunbrellas." This sea is the "line" we waited in for over an hour.
Katherine pushing her way to the ticket window, so many people tried to cut us!
Finally made it inside!
These two girls asked to take a picture with us.
The group of the middle schoolers who wanted to pose with us.
They're taking pictures of us, it was nuts!
