Hello again! Sorry, I forgot to put the one of Anthony asleep on the last plane...it was sooo funny. He really couldn't keep his eyes open he was so tired. YES jet lag has set in and Anthony is snoring as I type this now. It's 9:37 pm and we feel like it's 4:00 am and we've been up all day, it's weird!
We started off this morning with a huge breakfast. It was pretty good. Not too many weird things, so it was a good start to the day. Met up with everyone, saw some for the first time. We hav 11 special needs couples here that will stay with us until we leave Monday morning (your Sunday night). It's interesting hearing all the diffrent SN things of these babies, I can't wait until we meet again in Hong Kong and see all these beautiful little girls!
We started off going to The Great Wall. It was absolutely gorgeous. We have a WONDERFUL guide named Sherry (well, her American name) and she told us the whole story. It took alot of man power to build this. It goes from Beijing to the Pacific Ocean!! It was gorgous and HOT!!! We are ALL soooo out of shape. Anthony did well, just needed alot of water and I just wanted to sit down. It's hard for everyone. We were all exhausted when we got down and we only stayed for an hour! BUT..my brave husband rode the cable car!!! OMG! He did sooo good. It was really high up and we would have had to walk it and then up and down the wall and NOBODY in our group wanted to do that. We are not that crazy!! (Pictures of that ride on next page.)
Well, that's all for these pictures. I will post more on the next page. It's about 85 here, but it's REALLY HOT!! It's weird. And Beijing is REALLY crouded. It's the 3rd largest city in China. There is a new rule that has been in place for the Olympics..all even numbered cars can drive on one day and odd on another day. It cuts 1.3 billion cars traveling A DAY and cuts down on the smog. They are trying a lot of new things because of the Olympics and still, it's CROWDED!!
Well, hope you enjoy the pictures!
