Ritan Park and the Blue Zoo

On Saturday, we had an extra free day so we all went to Ritan Park (not Longtan Park as I'd written earlier), which has
a lot of nice shaded areas and little kids rides. We spent almost an hour just
in the kids fun house (where they had a ball pit, slides, swings, a tunnel maze,
and a spring-loaded zip bar that they could hang from and fly down). In other areas of the park, people were doing Tai Chi, a slow form of exercise,
fan dancing, and calligraphy. One man wrote "Welcome to Beijing" with his
calligraphy brush for us. After that, we went to the aquarium. The coolest part was walking through a tunnel with a glass ceiling that is underneath the water. We could see all the fish swimming above us and the scuba divers too.
