Well, I can't say that seeing the Panda Bears was a fun experience. That day Beijing was as hot and muggy as any summer day in NYC. And it didn't see like the Pandas were happy with the weather either. They were lazy looking and seemed to only want to sit in the shade and eat bamboo.
The play ground set up for them to romp and tumble remained empty and though a few people on our tour got a couple great shots of one Panda as it lumbered by headed for the newly scattered pile of bamboo, I however was not in a good postion and only managed a few febble photos.
The first day we returned home from China I read in the newspaper that "The first skull of the earliest known ancestor of the giant panda was discovered in China. Discovery of the skull was estimated to be at least 2 million years old."
Ah, well, but I got a great shot of a little girl dressed in pink and she had a ticket in her hands to see the Pandas, too. I hope she had better luck than I did.
