We Are Here!

Well, we made it to China with no complications! The airplane ride from Chicago to Beijing was looonngggg! to say the least! Tony and I didn't have assigned seats so we both ended up with window seats (I was in the row in front of him) which wasn't so much fun bcause we had to ask the people to move to get up. But we made it! Thanks goodness for the little monitors in front of us that we were able to watch movies and tv shows!

Once we got to the airport we made it through customs with no problem (Jim, you wong....no cavity search! LOL!) and was picked up by LInda who got us to our hotel. Went out last night and walked around a little bit, found a McDonalds and had supper. By that time, we was ready for bed having been up since 3 am Wednesday morning. (We have lost all track of days and time!)

Today we toured the Forbidden City, Tienimum Square, went to a tea house and an acrobatic show. Learned some interesting facts about the Emperor and the Chinese culture, drank some wonderful tea and was "Wowed" by the acrobats!

So, tomorrow we will be visiting the Great Wall of China, jade factory, and something else....

On the end note....3 more days and we will see our baby! We still can't believe that we are here in China!

Tony and I just look at each and say "We are in China!" Please continue to pray for us, especially Kara...(which we found out her name is pronounced Wendy)...Love to all!
