Beijing in a Day
Well, it felt like we have seen and walked the entire city of Beijing in a day. Today we did some of the typical tourist spots of Beijing. We went to Tiannenmen Square, The Forbidden City, A Pearl Factory, the Summer Palace and the Bird's Nest. Beijing is an old city with a deep history and beautiful architecture. Our guides, Maggie and Rosa, (who are just so sweet) are systematically trying to put us into physical exhaustion to reset our time clocks. It's working! 8 p.m. (that would be 6 a.m. Texas time:) and I am ready to head to bed.

Hey Beth! I was wondering when you were going to post! I'm so glad you all made it safely. Ack! about not packing the camera cord - I'm putting that on my list right now!! How is Ali weathering the time change? We are continuing our prayers for you, your family, and Jaden. Can't WAIT!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you posted. I had to check this before doing anything else this morning and am amazed what all you have already done, as I am just getting started for the day. Is there a time for sleep? I hope Ms. Ali is holding up well. Ok, my computer cord says "made in China" so I'm pretty certain you can probably purchase there! I have no doubt you will have plenty of pictures soon. We can't wait to see them! Oh, how I wish we were there with you. We're praying for all of you.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you made it safe and sound and survived your whirlwind day in Beijing! Hope you are all doing well.
ReplyDeleteYou are in my thoughts and prayers constantly, and can't wait to see Jaden in your arms!!
