To badly misquote a Moody Blues tune "Ride My See Saw."
The rickshaw ride is a Beijing must-do, although it isn't for the faint-of-heart as Beijing traffic is, well, "controlled chaos." Lane lines are optional and buses, vans, cars, bikes, and people all seem to share the roads in a system that would make Manhatten look positively sane.
Nevertheless, Jennifer and laughed in the face of danger and had a blast. We also visited a real Chinese Hutong (a four family building complex) and saw the real Beijing by doing so.
Enjoy the pics.

Forgot to say in my comment in the last post - nice photo of the cloisonne vases. We went to Beijing one day early, and walked through the Hutong on our own. We were asked at least a hundred times if we wanted a ride in a rickshaw. We walked there from our hotel - walking through Beijing alone was very interesting!! Glad to see you are having a great time on the tours. God's blessings as you meet Nathanael tomorrow - probably while we are all sleeping! Praying for comfort and peace for your son as everything will be so new for him tomorrow, and that both of you know how to comfort him best.
