Well, we're now in China!!!  We made it here about 8:40 p.m. Thurs night, China time, which means it was 8:40 a.m. Thursday morning there at home! We didn't sleep a whole lot on the 12 plane flight but fortunately it wasn't too bad!  It took about an hour to get to the hotel from the airport.  It was a little after 10 p.m. by the time we got into our room!  It didn't take long for us to crash!

Today we toured the Great Wall, visited a Jade factory, ate authentic Chinese & visited with a local family in Beijing & rode a rickshaw through Hulang, which is cultural heart of Beijing. Getting ready now to go eat some supper then crash for the night.  I'm just going to say, the Great Wall was tough! I didn't make it too far. Jimmy showed out & went to the 2nd watch tour.  I didn't make it quite to the 1st one. Woman in heels put me to shame! And little old ladies with 3 year olds strapped to their backs!! Oh the shame! lol

It was a great experience! We loved every minute of it!  We've also met 2 other couples here adopting as well.  Sweet families that are just as excited to meet their new littles as we are our's!  We'll be posting again soon!  Thanks for all the prayers! They have been felt this far! Love to all!
